Elementary Schools in Southwest R-V

Summary:

The Southwest R-V school district in Missouri has only one elementary school, Southwest Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade. The school's academic performance has declined in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 540 out of 898 Missouri elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 582 out of 900 in 2024-2025, and it currently holds a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Southwest Elementary's proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) for 3rd and 4th grades are generally lower than the state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade Mathematics proficiency rate was 33.2% compared to the state average of 41.4%, and the 4th grade ELA proficiency rate was 39.4% compared to the state average of 44.8%. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 65.65% in the 2023-2024 school year, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges.

Despite the higher per-student spending of $10,703 for the 2021-2022 school year (which is above the state average) and a relatively small student-teacher ratio of 14.8, Southwest Elementary's academic performance continues to lag behind the state averages. This suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and implement targeted interventions to address the specific needs of its student population and improve overall academic outcomes.
