Crystal City Elementary

Public Grades PK, KG-6

Summary

Crystal City Elementary is a public elementary school serving 318 students in grades PK-6 in Crystal City, Missouri, which is part of the Crystal City 47 school district. The school has seen mixed performance on state assessments, with some grades outperforming the state average in math and English language arts, while others lag behind. However, the school faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates and a significant population of economically disadvantaged students.

While Crystal City Elementary's test scores are on par with the state average in some areas, the school lags behind higher-performing nearby schools like Athena Elementary and Telegraph Intermediate in both academic achievement and attendance. The school's high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 44.87% to 50.31% over the past three years, is similar to that of nearby schools like Pevely Elementary and Plattin Primary, indicating a relatively high proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

However, Crystal City Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.1 to 11.9 over the past three years, which could indicate a focus on smaller class sizes and more individualized attention. Additionally, the school has seen a significant increase in per-student spending, from $8,822 in 2019-2020 to $12,579 in 2021-2022, suggesting a concerted effort to invest in the school's resources. Moving forward, the school will need to address its attendance issues and align its curriculum and instruction to state standards to drive improvements in student learning and engagement.
