Summary:
The Lafayette County C-1 school district in Missouri has one elementary school, Grandview Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 444 students. Based on the available data, Grandview Elementary does not appear to be a standout school, as it has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Missouri elementary schools over the past three years and is rated only 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
Academically, Grandview Elementary's proficiency rates on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests are significantly below the state averages in both mathematics and English language arts across grades 3-5. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 15.8% of 3rd graders at Grandview were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the state average of 41.4%. The school's performance is also below the district-wide averages in Lafayette County C-1. Additionally, Grandview Elementary has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6% in the 2023-2024 school year, which likely contributes to the school's academic struggles.
Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $11,617 and a low student-teacher ratio of 12.7, Grandview Elementary continues to underperform. This suggests that the school may be facing challenges in effectively allocating and utilizing its resources to support student learning and achievement. Furthermore, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 46.17% in the 2023-2024 school year, which indicates a relatively high proportion of students from low-income families, a factor that can present additional barriers to academic success.
