Summary:

The Green Forest R-II school district in Missouri has one school, Green Forest Elementary, which serves grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 160 students. This school stands out as a top performer, consistently ranking among the top 21 elementary schools in Missouri over the past three years and earning a 5-star rating from School Digger.

Green Forest Elementary's academic excellence is evident in its exceptional test scores, which significantly exceed the state averages in Mathematics, Science, and English Language Arts across multiple grade levels. For instance, in the 2024-2025 school year, 76.3% of 4th-grade students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 43.8%. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 10.6 likely contributes to this strong academic performance.

While the school serves a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 55.62% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, it is still able to achieve exceptional results. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 11.1% in the 2023-2024 school year is an area that may require further attention to ensure continued student success. Overall, Green Forest Elementary stands out as a high-performing school within the Green Forest R-II district, providing a quality education to its diverse student population.
