Summary:
The Sweet Springs Elementary is the sole elementary school located within the Sweet Springs R-Vii school district in Missouri. The school serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade and faces some significant challenges in terms of academic performance and student attendance.
Despite being part of a district that is ranked 97 out of 367 in Missouri and rated 4 out of 5 stars, Sweet Springs Elementary has consistently been ranked between 486 and 561 out of around 900 Missouri elementary schools over the past three years, and has a 2 out of 5 star rating. The school's proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts (ELA) have been below the state averages for the past two school years, with particularly low performance in 3rd and 5th grade Math and ELA. Additionally, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 11.3%.
While Sweet Springs Elementary appears to have a relatively high per-student spending of $12,013 and a low student-teacher ratio of 9.4 to 1, these factors have not translated into strong academic outcomes. The school also serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, with nearly 44% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Overall, the data suggests that Sweet Springs Elementary may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student learning and achievement.
