Summary

Bismarck R-V Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Bismarck, Missouri, with 196 students. The school faces significant challenges, consistently performing below the state average in math and English language arts proficiency across all grade levels.

Bismarck R-V Elementary's academic performance is particularly low in math, with proficiency rates ranging from 13.4% to 14.4% across grades 3-5, compared to the state averages of 38.2% to 43.8%. In contrast, the nearby Jefferson Elementary and Washington-Franklin Elementary in the Farmington R-VII district have significantly higher math and ELA proficiency rates, often exceeding the state averages. Additionally, Bismarck R-V Elementary has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 9.6% to 25.0% in recent years, which is notably higher than the nearby Farmington R-VII and Central R-III district schools.

The school's challenges may be exacerbated by its high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, significantly higher than the nearby districts. While Bismarck R-V Elementary's spending per student is comparable to the nearby schools, it has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.8 to 13.3 in recent years, which is higher than the ratios of the nearby schools. These factors suggest that the school may need to implement more comprehensive and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
