Summary:
The Green City R-I school district in Missouri has only one elementary school, Green City Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade. The school has seen a concerning decline in its academic performance over the past few years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 363 out of 1,052 Missouri elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 760 out of 900 in 2024-2025, and its SchoolDigger rating decreasing from 3 stars to 1 star.
Green City Elementary's proficiency rates in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science are significantly lower than the state averages, with gaps of 20 percentage points or more in the core subjects. Additionally, the school serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 65.22% of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $13,061 and a low student-teacher ratio of 10.1, the academic performance continues to lag behind state benchmarks.
The declining performance and achievement gaps at Green City Elementary suggest that the school and the Green City R-I district may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the specific needs of their student population and improve overall academic outcomes.
