Summary

McCurdy Elementary is a public elementary school located in Florissant, Missouri, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 506 students. The school is part of the Hazelwood School District, which is ranked 319 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

McCurdy Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Missouri elementary schools, maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past 8 years. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as African American and low-socioeconomic status students. McCurdy Elementary also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 33.8% to 42.3% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's proficiency rates on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests are consistently well below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

When comparing McCurdy Elementary to other nearby schools in the Hazelwood district, such as Russell Elementary, Cold Water Elementary, and Lawson Elementary, it performs significantly worse across most metrics. Despite spending more per student than the state average, McCurdy Elementary's challenges appear to go beyond just funding, suggesting a need for a comprehensive school improvement plan and targeted interventions to address the unique needs of its predominantly low-income student population.
