Summary:
The Mehlville R-Ix school district in Missouri is home to 12 elementary schools serving students from grades K-5. The district as a whole is ranked 62 out of 367 school districts in the state and is rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. While the district has a mix of high-performing and struggling schools, several standout elementary schools shine within the Mehlville R-Ix system.
Hagemann Elementary, Rogers Elementary, Point Elementary, and Mosaic Elementary are all ranked among the top 84 elementary schools in Missouri, with 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger. These schools consistently demonstrate exceptional performance, with 52-97% of students proficient or better in math and English Language Arts. In contrast, schools like Bierbaum Elementary, Forder Elementary, and Trautwein Elementary struggle with significantly lower test scores compared to the district and state averages.
The data suggests a correlation between socioeconomic factors and academic performance, with schools serving higher percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients tending to have lower test scores. However, the district's spending per student does not necessarily align with school performance, indicating that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving outcomes. The Mehlville R-Ix district has opportunities to learn from its top-performing schools and implement best practices across all its elementary schools to raise the bar for all students.
