Elementary Schools in West Nodaway County R-I

Summary:

There is only one elementary school in the West Nodaway County R-I district, the West Nodaway R-I Elementary school, which serves grades PK-6 with 142 students. The West Nodaway County R-I district is ranked 310 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating the district is struggling overall.

West Nodaway R-I Elementary has seen its statewide ranking fluctuate between 707 and 724 out of around 1,000 Missouri elementary schools in recent years, with its SchoolDigger rating declining from 2 stars to 1 star. The school's academic performance lags state averages, with 4th grade math proficiency at 25.1% compared to the Missouri average of 43.8%, 5th grade math proficiency at 31.3% versus 38.2% statewide, and 3rd grade ELA proficiency at 15.9% compared to 41.8% across Missouri. Additionally, the school serves a high-poverty population, with 42.96% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite the school's relatively high spending of $12,409 per student, the low academic performance and declining SchoolDigger rating suggest the funds are not translating into improved student outcomes. Addressing the academic achievement gaps and improving the school's overall quality should be key priorities for the district.
