Summary:
The Willow Springs R-IV school district in Missouri has one elementary school, Willow Springs Elementary, which serves grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 478 students.
Willow Springs Elementary has faced some challenges in recent years. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school ranked 592 out of 900 Missouri elementary schools and was rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. Its academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in MAP/Mathematics and MAP/English Language Arts, is generally below the state averages. Additionally, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.1%, which can negatively impact student learning and outcomes.
However, the school does have some positive attributes. Its student-teacher ratio of 10.9 is relatively low, which could provide more individualized attention and support for students. The school also serves a population with significant economic needs, with 65.69% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing these socioeconomic factors and focusing on improving instructional practices and student support could be crucial for Willow Springs Elementary to raise its academic achievement and overall performance.
