Elementary Schools in Normandy Schools Collaborative

Summary:

The Normandy Schools Collaborative district in Missouri contains 5 elementary schools serving students from early childhood through 5th grade. These schools, including Normandy Early Learning Center, Washington Elementary, Jefferson Elementary, Barack Obama Elementary School, and Bel-Nor, all exhibit consistently low academic performance compared to state averages.

Across these 5 elementary schools, chronic absenteeism rates are extremely high, ranging from 50.4% to 50.4%, far exceeding the state average. Additionally, all schools have 100% of their students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a very high-poverty student population. Proficiency rates on state assessments are alarmingly low, with most schools scoring 10-20 percentage points below the state average in all grade levels and subject areas.

Despite relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $15,845 to $22,897, the schools have struggled to improve student outcomes over time. The schools consistently rank in the bottom 20% of Missouri elementary schools, with little to no progress in their SchoolDigger rankings. Addressing the systemic challenges facing the Normandy Schools Collaborative district will require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach that goes beyond just increased funding or resources.
