Summary

Arcadia Valley Elementary is a public elementary school located in Ironton, Missouri, serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 396 students. The school is part of the Arcadia Valley R-II School District, which is ranked 219 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Arcadia Valley Elementary has shown a mixed performance on state assessments (MAP) over the past few years. While the school has had some strong years, such as ranking 77th out of 1,032 Missouri elementary schools in 2016-2017, it has also experienced some declines, ranking 462nd out of 901 schools in 2020-2021. The school's performance is particularly strong in mathematics, with 3rd and 4th-grade students consistently outperforming the state average in the percentage of students proficient or better. However, the school's performance in English Language Arts (ELA) is more variable, with 3rd and 4th-grade students sometimes performing below the state average. Interestingly, the school's low socioeconomic status (SES) students have performed exceptionally well, ranking among the top 5% of Missouri elementary schools in this subgroup for the past three school years.

Arcadia Valley Elementary has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 13.4% to 27.9% over the past few years, which may be a significant factor contributing to the school's variable academic performance. The nearby schools, such as Roosevelt Elementary, Washington-Franklin Elementary, and West Elementary, generally perform better on state assessments and have lower rates of chronic absenteeism compared to Arcadia Valley Elementary. However, Arcadia Valley Elementary stands out in its exceptional performance for low SES students, outranking many of the nearby schools in this subgroup.
