Elementary Schools in Lockwood R-I

Summary:

The Lockwood R-I school district in Missouri has only one elementary school, Lockwood Elementary, which serves grades PK-6 with 143 students. While the school has some strengths, such as higher-than-average math proficiency rates in 3rd grade, it struggles in several areas and is ranked in the bottom third of Missouri elementary schools.

Lockwood Elementary's performance has fluctuated over the past few years, with a 2-star rating in 2022-2023, a 1-star rating in 2023-2024, and a 2-star rating again in 2024-2025. The school's math proficiency rates decline significantly from 3rd grade to 4th and 6th grade, falling well below the state average. English Language Arts proficiency rates are also below the state average in 4th and 6th grade. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 14.2% and serves a relatively high-need student population, with over 54% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

While Lockwood Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.9 to 1, the school's overall performance and ranking suggest that it is an underperforming school within the state of Missouri. Addressing the identified areas of concern, such as the decline in math proficiency and the low English Language Arts performance, could be crucial for improving the educational outcomes for the students at Lockwood Elementary.
