Summary

Ezard Elementary is a public elementary school located in Conway, Missouri, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 414 students. The school is part of the Laclede County R-I school district, which is ranked 176 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ezard Elementary has shown a mixed performance in student test scores compared to the state and district averages. While the school has performed well in certain grade levels and subjects, such as 6th grade mathematics and 5th grade science, it has struggled in other areas like 3rd and 4th grade English Language Arts. The school's performance has fluctuated over the years, with a high ranking of 182 out of 901 Missouri elementary schools in the 2020-2021 school year, but then dropping to a ranking of 456 out of 900 schools in the 2024-2025 school year. However, Ezard Elementary has performed particularly well in serving its special education and low socioeconomic status (SES) student populations, ranking in the top 18 and 147 out of Missouri elementary schools, respectively, in the 2024-2025 school year.

Ezard Elementary's performance is generally lower than that of the nearby Grovespring Elementary, which has consistently ranked in the top 300 Missouri elementary schools and has significantly higher test scores, particularly in English Language Arts. However, Ezard Elementary outperforms some of the other nearby schools, such as Joel E. Barber Elementary and Niangua Elementary, which have lower rankings and test scores. Additionally, Ezard Elementary's spending per student has increased over the years, from $8,140 in the 2019-2020 school year to $9,652 in the 2021-2022 school year, which is higher than the state and district averages, and the school has maintained a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.1 to 14.0 in recent years.
