Summary:
The Lonedell R-14 school district in Missouri contains a single elementary school, Lonedell Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. While the school has some areas of strength, such as higher-than-average proficiency rates in mathematics for 4th and 7th grades, it also faces challenges in other subject areas and grade levels.
Lonedell Elementary's overall performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 384 out of 900 Missouri elementary schools in 2024-2025 to 490 out of 898 in 2022-2023. The school's SchoolDigger rating is 3 out of 5 stars, indicating room for improvement. One area of concern is the school's lower-than-average proficiency rates in English Language Arts for 5th grade and science for 8th grade, suggesting the need for targeted interventions to address these academic weaknesses.
Regarding the school's demographics, Lonedell Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (50.29% in 2023-2024), indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families. However, the school's student-teacher ratio of 11.9 is slightly lower than the state average, and its per-student spending for the 2021-2022 school year was $10,610, which is higher than the state average. These factors suggest that the school has the potential to improve its performance with the right strategies and resources to support its student population.
