Summary:

The Northwest R-I school district in Missouri is home to 7 elementary schools, serving students from prekindergarten through 5th grade. These schools showcase a diverse range of academic performance, with some standouts like Cedar Springs Elementary leading the pack, while others, such as Maple Grove Elementary, face challenges, particularly in English Language Arts.

Cedar Springs Elementary stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, ranking 132nd out of 900 Missouri elementary schools and boasting the best test scores across multiple subjects and grade levels.
