Summary:

The St. Louis City school district contains 42 elementary schools serving students from pre-K through 8th grade. These schools vary significantly in size, with student enrollment ranging from 47 to 484 students. While the district faces significant challenges, with consistently high rates of chronic absenteeism and students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, a few standout schools demonstrate exceptional academic performance.

At the top of the district are Mallinckrodt A.B.I. Elementary and Betty Wheeler Classical Junior Ac, both of which are ranked among the top 2 elementary schools in the state of Missouri and have 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger. These schools boast impressive test scores, with over 80% of students proficient or better in core subjects. In contrast, the majority of schools in the district perform well below the state averages in math and English language arts proficiency.

The data also reveals significant disparities in funding and resources across the district. Schools with higher per-student spending, such as Stix Early Childhood Center, tend to have better academic outcomes, suggesting a potential correlation between funding and performance. Addressing these systemic inequities and improving attendance and engagement will be crucial for the St. Louis City school district to provide a high-quality education for all its students.
