Summary

Alpha Hart Lewis is an elementary school in Columbia, Missouri, serving 466 students in grades PK-5. It is part of the Columbia 93 school district, which is ranked 154 out of 367 districts in the state.

Despite receiving relatively high funding and having a low student-teacher ratio, Alpha Hart Lewis has consistently struggled academically. The school has ranked in the bottom quartile of Missouri elementary schools for several years, with a 1-star or 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its students perform significantly below state and district averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts, and the school has high rates of chronic absenteeism. When compared to other nearby schools in the district, such as John Ridgeway Elementary and Locust St Expressive Arts Elementary, Alpha Hart Lewis stands out as the lowest-performing.

Despite the school's challenges, the underlying causes of its underperformance are not entirely clear. The high poverty rates and lack of improvement over time suggest that Alpha Hart Lewis may face deeper systemic issues that require a comprehensive, long-term approach to address. Addressing these challenges will likely be crucial in ensuring that all students at Alpha Hart Lewis receive the quality education they deserve.
