Summary

Eugene Field Elementary is a public elementary school located in Hannibal, Missouri, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 189. The school is part of the Hannibal 60 school district, which is ranked 130 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's higher spending per student, ranging from $10,715 to $15,140 over the past few years, Eugene Field Elementary consistently performs poorly on state assessments compared to the district and state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, only 14.4% of 3rd graders at Eugene Field were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 47.5% for the Hannibal 60 district and 41.4% for the state. The school also struggles in English Language Arts, with proficiency rates ranging from 10.4% to 24.2%. Additionally, Eugene Field has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 22.5% to 24.6%, which is significantly higher than the nearby Oakwood Elementary (24.2%) and Mark Twain Elementary (24.2%).

The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Eugene Field Elementary, ranging from 86.34% to 91.53% over the past few years, is likely a contributing factor to the school's low academic performance. In comparison, the nearby Oakwood Elementary and Mark Twain Elementary have much lower percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 46.52% and 58.6%, respectively. While the higher spending at Eugene Field suggests a commitment to resources, the stark contrast in performance compared to these nearby schools suggests that additional factors, such as socioeconomic challenges, may be playing a crucial role in the school's struggles.
