Summary:
The Summersville R-II school district in Missouri has only one elementary school, Summersville Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 and has an enrollment of 229 students. While the school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, it has shown some areas of strength as well as challenges that require attention.
Summersville Elementary's statewide ranking has ranged from 427 out of 906 Missouri elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 639 out of 898 in 2022-2023, and its SchoolDigger rating has varied from 3 stars out of 5 in 2023-2024 to 1 star out of 5 in 2022-2023. In 2024-2025, the school's 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students outperformed the state average in mathematics proficiency, but the 3rd and 5th-grade English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates were below the state average. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 12.6% in 2023-2024 is also a concern that may require targeted interventions.
Additionally, the high percentage of students (54.15%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024 suggests that Summersville Elementary may be serving a population with significant economic challenges, which could impact the school's resources, support systems, and overall educational outcomes. Ongoing monitoring and data-driven decision-making will be crucial in helping the school address these issues and improve educational outcomes for its students.
