Summary:
The Jefferson County R-Vii school district in Missouri is home to three elementary schools: Telegraph Intermediate, Plattin Primary, and Jefferson R-Vii Preschool. These schools serve students from diverse backgrounds and offer a range of educational opportunities.
Among the three schools, Telegraph Intermediate stands out as the highest-performing, with a statewide ranking of 178 out of 906 Missouri elementary schools and a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores, particularly in mathematics and science, are generally higher than the district and state averages. In contrast, Plattin Primary and Jefferson R-Vii Preschool do not have available test score data, making it difficult to assess their academic performance.
The schools in the district also vary in terms of student demographics and other key metrics. Plattin Primary has the highest percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients at 29.22%, while Jefferson R-Vii Preschool has the lowest at 16.18%. Additionally, Telegraph Intermediate has the highest spending per student at $12,061, which may contribute to its stronger academic performance. However, all three schools face challenges related to chronic absenteeism, with rates slightly higher than the state average.
