Summary:
The Maysville R-I school district in Missouri has only one elementary school, Maysville Elementary, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 273 students. While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking and rating over the past few years, there are some areas of strength as well as opportunities for improvement.
Maysville Elementary's academic performance has been mixed, with its 3rd-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate exceeding the state average, but its 4th-grade math and 5th-grade math and science proficiency rates falling below state averages. The school also faces challenges with a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6% in 2023-2024. Socioeconomic factors may play a role, as the school has a high percentage of students (45.79%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite these challenges, Maysville Elementary appears to have access to significant resources, with a relatively high per-student spending of $11,030 and a low student-teacher ratio of 10.6. The school district and community may want to explore ways to better utilize these resources to address the academic and attendance issues, particularly in the areas of math and science instruction. By focusing on these areas and supporting the needs of the student population, Maysville Elementary can work to improve its performance and provide a high-quality education for all its students.
