Summary

Gotsch Intermediate School is a public elementary school in Saint Louis, Missouri, serving 541 students in grades 3-5. The school is part of the Affton 101 School District, which is ranked 153 out of 367 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Gotsch Intermediate School has seen increased funding over the years, its student performance remains a concern. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 24.3% to 30.6%, which is significantly higher than nearby Mesnier Primary School (24.3%) and top-performing schools in the Webster Groves and Lindbergh districts, which have chronic absenteeism rates around 12-13%. Additionally, Gotsch's student performance on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests is generally below the state and district averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts.

When comparing Gotsch Intermediate School to its higher-performing neighbors, such as Clark Elementary and Bristol Elementary in the Webster Groves district, the differences in student achievement are stark. These schools consistently rank in the top 5-10% of Missouri elementary schools and have significantly higher proficiency rates in core subjects. Despite the increased funding at Gotsch Intermediate School, the school's performance remains below average, suggesting that there may be underlying issues, such as socioeconomic challenges, that need to be addressed to improve student outcomes.
