Summary

Eldon Upper Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in the Eldon R-I school district in Eldon, Missouri. With 446 students, the school has consistently performed above the state average in Mathematics and English Language Arts on the MAP tests, and its 5th grade Science proficiency rates have also been higher than the state average.

Eldon Upper Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and has increased its per-student spending in recent years, indicating a commitment to investing in the school's resources. Compared to nearby schools like Hurricane Deck Elementary and Osage Beach Elementary, Eldon Upper Elementary has generally outperformed these schools in academic proficiency rates. However, the Cole County R-I Elementary school has shown stronger academic performance in some areas, particularly in Mathematics and Science.

While Eldon Upper Elementary has demonstrated strong performance for its low socioeconomic status and disabled student subgroups, the school's relatively high chronic absenteeism rate and the lower performance of its White student subgroup are areas that could benefit from further investigation and targeted interventions. Overall, Eldon Upper Elementary appears to be a well-resourced school that is effectively serving its diverse student population, with opportunities for continued improvement and growth.
