Elementary Schools in Tipton R-VI

Summary:

The Tipton R-VI school district in Missouri is home to a single elementary school, Tipton Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade. While the school has some positive metrics, such as higher-than-average proficiency rates in mathematics and English language arts compared to the state, it also faces challenges, including a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate and a low overall school ranking.

Tipton Elementary's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 400 out of 900 Missouri elementary schools in 2024-2025 to 479 out of 906 in 2023-2024. The school's proficiency rates in mathematics have been mixed, with 3rd-grade math at 48.6% (vs. 41.4% statewide) in 2024-2025, but lower than the state average at 35.5% (vs. 40.8% statewide) in 2023-2024. In English language arts, Tipton Elementary's 3rd-grade proficiency rate of 43.2% in 2024-2025 exceeded the state average of 41.8%.

Tipton Elementary serves a relatively disadvantaged student population, with 47.55% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. The school has a student-teacher ratio of 12.5 to 1 and spent $10,926 per student in the 2021-2022 school year. While these metrics provide some insight into the school's resources and support, further analysis would be needed to determine if this level of funding and staffing is adequate to address the unique needs of the student population and drive improved academic outcomes.
