Summary:
The Laquey R-V Elementary is the sole elementary school serving grades PK-6 in the Laquey R-V school district in Missouri. With a total enrollment of 335 students, the school has consistently ranked between 618-756 out of around 900 Missouri elementary schools over the past 3 years, earning 1-2 out of 5 stars from School Digger.
Academically, Laquey R-V Elementary struggles, with proficiency rates on the MAP assessments for Math and English Language Arts significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 36.3% of 3rd graders were proficient in Math and ELA, compared to state averages of 41.4% and 41.8% respectively. The school also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 12.9%, which is above the state average and likely contributing to the low academic performance.
Socioeconomic factors may also play a role, as 65.67% of Laquey R-V Elementary students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Despite these challenges, the school spends slightly more per student ($10,344) than the state average, and maintains a student-teacher ratio of 14.7, which is slightly lower than the state average. Overall, the data suggests that Laquey R-V Elementary is a lower-performing school that may need to implement targeted interventions and support systems to address the academic, attendance, and socioeconomic challenges facing its students.
