Summary

Cabool Elementary is a public elementary school in Cabool, Missouri, serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 308 students. The school is part of the Cabool R-IV school district, which is ranked 196 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cabool Elementary's academic performance, as measured by MAP test scores, has been consistently below the state average in both Mathematics and English Language Arts across grades 3 and 4. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 44.4% of 3rd graders and 52.8% of 4th graders at Cabool Elementary were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 41.4% and 43.8%, respectively. In contrast, the nearby Norwood Elementary outperformed Cabool Elementary and the state average in Mathematics. Cabool Elementary has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 13.8% to 20.2% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the 4.5% rate at Norwood Elementary.

However, Cabool Elementary's low-income students have performed exceptionally well, ranking in the top 10% of Missouri elementary schools for this subgroup in the 2024-2025 school year. The school has also seen an increase in per-student spending, from $8,459 in 2018-2019 to $11,519 in 2020-2021, and maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10 to 11.9 students per teacher in recent years. These investments in resources suggest that the school is committed to supporting student learning, and the strong performance of its low-income students indicates that the school is effectively addressing their needs.
