Summary:
The Louisiana R-II school district in Missouri has one elementary school, Louisiana Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 395 out of 898 Missouri elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 489 out of 906 in 2023-2024.
Louisiana Elementary faces some challenges, particularly in terms of academic performance and socioeconomic factors. The school's standardized test scores in mathematics and English language arts are generally below the state average, with only 36% of 3rd graders proficient or better in math in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 41.4%. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (68.34% in 2023-2024) and a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate (26.0% in 2023-2024).
Despite these challenges, the Louisiana R-II school district appears to be allocating resources to support Louisiana Elementary, as evidenced by the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.8 and higher-than-average per-student spending of $10,365 in 2021-2022. However, this resource allocation has not yet translated into consistently strong academic performance, suggesting a need for further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student learning and achievement.
