Summary

McNair Elementary is a public elementary school in Hazelwood, Missouri, serving 420 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Hazelwood School District, which is ranked 319 out of 367 districts in the state.

While McNair Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom half of Missouri elementary schools, the school stands out for its stronger performance for African American and low-socioeconomic status (SES) students compared to nearby schools like Lusher Elementary, Walker Elementary, and Russell Elementary. However, the school's overall test scores in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science remain below the district and state averages. A significant concern is McNair's consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 27-42% over the past 4 years, which are much higher than the state average of 15-20%.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratios at McNair Elementary, the school's academic performance remains below average, suggesting that factors beyond just funding and resources may be contributing to the low student outcomes. Addressing the root causes of these issues, such as attendance, may be crucial for improving student achievement at McNair Elementary.
