Elementary Schools in Silex R-I

Summary:

The Silex R-I school district in Missouri has only one elementary school, Silex Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 199 students. While there are no other schools in the district to directly compare Silex Elementary to, the data provides insights into the school's performance compared to state-level averages in Missouri.

Silex Elementary's school ranking and rating have fluctuated over the past few years, ranging from 2 to 3 out of 5 stars on the SchoolDigger scale, suggesting inconsistent performance. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 16.9% is higher than the state average, which could impact student learning. Silex Elementary's test scores in mathematics and English language arts show mixed results, outperforming the state in some grade levels but underperforming in others.

The school has a relatively high percentage of students (32.16%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher-than-average level of economic disadvantage among the student population. However, Silex Elementary's low student-teacher ratio of 10.8 to 1 is a positive indicator, suggesting smaller class sizes and potentially more individualized attention for students. Overall, the data provides a mixed picture of Silex Elementary's performance, with both strengths and challenges that may require further analysis and investigation to fully understand and address.
