Elementary Schools in Union R-Xi

Summary:

The Union R-Xi school district in Missouri is home to three elementary schools: Central Elementary, Prairie Dell Elementary, and Beaufort Elementary. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and provide a range of educational opportunities within the district.

Among the three schools, Beaufort Elementary stands out as the top performer, ranking 62nd out of 900 Missouri elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Beaufort Elementary boasts significantly higher test scores than the district and state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels, with 79.4% of 5th-grade students scoring proficient or better in math, compared to 54.1% for the district and 38.2% statewide. Additionally, Beaufort Elementary has the lowest percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients, suggesting a more affluent student population.

While Central Elementary and Prairie Dell Elementary lag behind Beaufort in overall performance, they still appear to be performing reasonably well compared to state averages. Central Elementary, in particular, has strong test scores, ranking in the top 25% of Missouri elementary schools. However, all three schools face the challenge of a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 18.0%, which may impact student learning and achievement.
