Summary

Sni-A-Bar Elementary is a public elementary school located in Grain Valley, Missouri, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 446 students. The school is part of the Grain Valley R-V school district, which is ranked 68 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sni-A-Bar Elementary has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from a high of 172 out of 908 Missouri elementary schools in 2021-2022 to a low of 690 out of 1,052 in 2018-2019. Its current ranking for the 2024-2025 school year is 364 out of 900. The school has lower rankings for its subgroups, particularly White students and students of low socioeconomic status. Additionally, Sni-A-Bar Elementary has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.5% to 18.5% in recent years, which is higher than the state average.

While Sni-A-Bar Elementary's test scores in Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) are generally below the Grain Valley R-V district and the state of Missouri averages, particularly in the lower grades, the school performs better in 4th-grade Mathematics and ELA. When compared to nearby schools, Sni-A-Bar Elementary outperforms Matthews Elementary in most metrics, but lags behind Prairie Branch Elementary, which has consistently higher rankings and test scores. This may be attributed to Sni-A-Bar Elementary's higher percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, which could contribute to its lower academic performance.
