Summary

Combs Elementary is a public elementary school located in Florissant, Missouri, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 315 students. The school is part of the Ferguson-Florissant R-II School District, which is ranked 309 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Combs Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Missouri elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 795-842 out of 898-906 schools in recent years. The school's performance on state assessments (MAP tests) is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 13.6% of 3rd graders, 6% of 4th graders, and 10.6% of 5th graders were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 41.4%, 43.8%, and 38.2%, respectively. Combs Elementary also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 33.5% to 48.3% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages.

The nearby schools within the Ferguson-Florissant R-II District, such as Robinwood Elementary and Halls Ferry Elementary, as well as the schools in the Hazelwood School District, have significantly higher academic proficiency rates and lower chronic absenteeism than Combs Elementary. The combination of low academic achievement, high chronic absenteeism, and high poverty at Combs Elementary indicates that the school may be facing a complex set of challenges that are negatively impacting student learning and engagement.
