Summary

North Side Community School is a small public charter elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Saint Louis, Missouri, with a student population of just 58 students. The school is part of the North Side Community School District, which is ranked 339 out of 367 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

North Side Community School faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.2% to 40.5% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby public schools like Hamilton Elementary Community Education and Ashland Elementary And Br. The school's academic performance, as measured by MAP test scores, is also significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 19.2% of 3rd graders proficient or better in Math, compared to the state average of 41.4%. Additionally, North Side Community School has an extremely high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 94.83% to 99.08% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the rates of nearby public schools.

While North Side Community School spends significantly more per student, ranging from $13,763 to $16,147 per student over the past few years, its performance has declined over the years, from a high of 4 stars and a ranking of 175 out of 1,032 Missouri elementary schools in 2016-2017 to just 1 star and a ranking of 807 out of 900 in 2024-2025. The nearby public schools, such as Hamilton Elementary Community Education, Ashland Elementary And Br., and Lexington Elementary, also struggle with low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and high percentages of students eligible for free/reduced lunch, suggesting that the challenges faced by North Side Community School are not unique and may be indicative of broader systemic issues in the local St. Louis City education system.

What people are saying

by a teacher
Friday, June 4, 2021

The administration here does not follow best practices or studies when determining how to educate kids. They do what they want and demand that teachers and students act like robots to accomplish their mission. Admin are physically and verbally aggressive to students. Admin considers all staff entirely replaceable. Admin frequently refers to parents as “ghetto” or “illiterate.” Mrs. Erondu has no respect for parents or staff and the incoming principal Mrs. McGull is no better. Many parents refuse to communicate with Mrs. Erondu or McGull because of the demeaning and disrespectful experiences they’ve had in the past. The school flaunts great test scores from 2016 and pretends they’re still educating kids like that. They are not. No communication, no professional development for staff, and no feeling of respect for students, staff, or parents. After working here I would never send my own kids here. Close Quote
