Elementary Schools in Hillsboro R-III

Summary:

The Hillsboro R-III school district in Missouri is home to two elementary schools: Hillsboro Primary (grades K-2) and Hillsboro Elementary (grades 3-4). The district is ranked 90 out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Both Hillsboro Primary and Hillsboro Elementary appear to be performing reasonably well within the district. Hillsboro Elementary's 3rd-grade students scored 42% proficient or better in Math, matching the district's 42% and exceeding the state's 40.8%. In 4th-grade Math, Hillsboro Elementary's students scored 48.4% proficient or better, matching the district's score and exceeding the state's 44.4%. In English Language Arts, Hillsboro Elementary's 3rd-grade students scored 47.8% proficient or better, compared to the district's 47.8% and the state's 41.6%. Their 4th-grade students scored 47.3% proficient or better in ELA, matching the district's score and exceeding the state's 46.2%.

However, both schools have a high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.0%, which may be an area for further investigation and improvement. Additionally, the relatively high free/reduced lunch rates (33.88% at Hillsboro Primary and 35.06% at Hillsboro Elementary) suggest that the schools serve a population with lower socioeconomic status, which can impact academic outcomes. The difference in per-student spending between the two schools ($10,170 for Hillsboro Primary and $9,764 for Hillsboro Elementary) may also be worth exploring to understand how resources are allocated and whether it has any impact on student performance.
