Summary:
The New Bloomfield R-III school district in Missouri has only one elementary school, New Bloomfield Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school has consistently performed below the state average on standardized tests, with proficiency rates significantly lower than the state in many subject areas and grade levels. Additionally, the school faces challenges related to high rates of poverty and chronic absenteeism among its student population.
New Bloomfield Elementary has ranked in the bottom half of Missouri elementary schools over the past few years, with its performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better on MAP tests, generally below the state average. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 12.6% in 5th grade math to 48.2% in 6th grade English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 38.2% to 44.8% in those respective areas. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 38.89% in the 2023-2024 school year, and a chronic absenteeism rate of 20.7%, which is significantly higher than the state average.
These factors suggest that the New Bloomfield R-III school district and New Bloomfield Elementary may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes and address the challenges facing the school and its student population.
