Summary

Vineland Elementary is a public elementary school located in De Soto, Missouri, serving grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 639 students. It is part of the Desoto 73 school district, which is ranked 72 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Vineland Elementary has demonstrated strengths in certain subject areas and grade levels, with significantly higher proficiency rates in Mathematics for 4th grade (81.6% vs. 43.8% state average) and English Language Arts for 4th grade (74.1% vs. 44.8% state average) compared to state and district averages. However, the school also faces challenges, such as lower proficiency rates in Mathematics for 3rd and 5th grades.
