Summary

St Louis Lang Immersion School is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Saint Louis, Missouri, with 419 students. The school faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism, low test scores, and a high percentage of students from disadvantaged backgrounds.

The school's performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 526 out of 901 Missouri elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 755 out of 900 in 2024-2025. Its test scores are consistently below the state averages across all grade levels and subjects, with only 14.6% of 3rd graders proficient or better in math in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 41.4%. The school also has a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 50.68% to 66.59% over the past few years.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Jefferson Elementary, Elias Michael Elementary, and Gateway Elementary, also have very low test scores, high chronic absenteeism rates, and high percentages of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch, suggesting that the challenges faced by St Louis Lang Immersion School are not unique and are likely systemic issues within the broader St. Louis City school district and community.
