Summary:
The Verona R-Vii school district in Missouri has only one elementary school, Verona Elementary, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 164 students. The data reveals that Verona Elementary is a struggling school, with low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students.
Verona Elementary is ranked 663 out of 900 Missouri elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year, with a 1-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates on the MAP (Missouri Assessment Program) tests are significantly below the state averages across multiple grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 12.5% of 3rd graders were proficient in math, compared to the state average of 41.4%.
Additionally, Verona Elementary has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 17.6% in the 2023-2024 school year, and half of its students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school's per-student spending of $11,613 suggests that resources may not be being allocated effectively to drive improved academic outcomes. The school and district should prioritize addressing these challenges to ensure that all students have access to a high-quality education.
