Summary:

The Ripley County R-IV school district in Missouri has only one school, Ripley County Elementary, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 117 students. The school has consistently performed poorly, ranking in the bottom 20% of Missouri elementary schools for the past several years and earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Ripley County Elementary struggles, with only 25% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in Mathematics and 18.8% proficient or better in English Language Arts, significantly lower than the state averages of 41.4% and 41.8%, respectively. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 16.5%, which may contribute to its low academic performance. Additionally, the school serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 68.38% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

While Ripley County Elementary spends $12,001 per student, which is higher than the state average, the school's resources do not appear to be effectively addressing the significant challenges it faces. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 7.8 could be an advantage, but the persistent academic struggles suggest a need for more targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes at this low-performing school.
