Summary:
The Iron County C-4 school district in Missouri is home to a single elementary school, Viburnum Elementary, which serves students from preschool through 5th grade. While the school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with a current 2-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger, it faces some academic challenges, particularly in certain grade levels and subject areas.
Viburnum Elementary's performance on state assessments is mixed, with 3rd and 4th-grade math scores exceeding the state average, but 3rd-grade ELA and 5th-grade math and science scores falling below the state average. The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.6, which is a positive indicator, but it also serves a student population with a high level of economic disadvantage, with 71.78% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This factor may contribute to the school's academic challenges and could require additional resources and targeted interventions to support student learning.
Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student of $11,961, the impact of this investment on student outcomes is not clear from the data provided. The school's leadership and the Iron County C-4 district may need to focus on improving instructional practices and support for students across all grade levels and subject areas to address the inconsistent academic performance and ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed.
