Summary

El Dorado Springs Elementary is a public elementary school serving 566 students in grades PK-5 in El Dorado Springs, Missouri, which is part of the El Dorado Springs R-II school district. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Missouri elementary schools on state assessments, with significantly lower proficiency rates compared to the state average across all grade levels and subjects.

Despite the school's academic struggles, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and its low-income students perform better relative to their peers statewide. However, the school faces significant challenges, including a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (over 96% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) and high chronic absenteeism rates, which range from 11.5% to 18.8% over the past few years. In comparison, nearby schools like Bryan Elementary and Truman Elementary have lower chronic absenteeism rates around 15.6%.

The proximity of El Dorado Springs Elementary to other schools, such as Stockton Elementary, which has much higher proficiency rates, presents an opportunity for collaboration and sharing of best practices. With the right interventions and support, there may be opportunities for improvement at El Dorado Springs Elementary, particularly in addressing attendance issues and leveraging the school's relatively strong performance among its low-income students.
