Summary

Lone Dell Elementary is a public elementary school located in Arnold, Missouri, serving 402 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Fox C-6 School District, which is ranked 51 out of 367 school districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lone Dell Elementary consistently ranks among the top 25% of Missouri elementary schools, with strong academic performance on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students are projected to have proficiency rates in mathematics and English Language Arts that significantly exceed the state averages. The school's performance is particularly noteworthy for students with disabilities and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking in the top third of Missouri elementary schools in these subgroups.

While Lone Dell Elementary's academic performance is generally stronger than nearby schools within the Fox C-6 District, some neighboring schools, such as Raymond Nancy Hodge Elementary and Hagemann Elementary (in the Mehlville R-IX District), have even stronger academic performance, ranking among the top 10% of Missouri elementary schools. However, Lone Dell Elementary's high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 11.4% to 24.2% over the past few years, is an area of concern that the school may need to address.
