Summary:
The Valley R-VI school district in Missouri contains one elementary school, Caledonia Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's performance data suggests it is an underperforming institution within the district and the state of Missouri.
Caledonia Elementary's test scores consistently lag behind the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 21.1% of 6th-grade students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 45.5% statewide. Similarly, in the same year, only 15.9% of 6th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 39.3% statewide. Additionally, the school has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5% in 2023-2024.
Despite the school's relatively low performance, it spends $12,431 per student, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, Caledonia Elementary has a student-teacher ratio of 8.7, indicating smaller class sizes. However, these factors do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. The school's SchoolDigger rating of 1 out of 5 stars further suggests it is performing below average compared to other elementary schools in Missouri. The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 55.62% in 2023-2024, indicates that Caledonia Elementary serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may contribute to the school's academic struggles.
