Elementary Schools in Potosi R-III

Summary:

The Potosi Elementary school is the sole elementary school serving grades PK-3 in the Potosi R-III school district in Missouri. With an enrollment of 610 students, Potosi Elementary stands out for its strong academic performance, efficient resource allocation, and high-need student population.

Potosi Elementary's test scores in both Mathematics and English Language Arts exceed the state averages, indicating the school is providing a quality education to its students. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 20.0% is higher than the state average, which may be an area for improvement. The school's 100% free and reduced lunch rate suggests a predominantly low-income student population, yet the district's higher-than-average spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio suggest effective resource allocation to support student learning.

Overall, Potosi Elementary appears to be a strong-performing school within the Potosi R-III district, with above-average test scores and efficient resource allocation. While the high chronic absenteeism rate is a concern, the school's academic performance and resource allocation indicate a commitment to providing a quality education to its students.
