Summary

Twillman Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Missouri elementary schools, with low performance on state assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. In 2024-2025, only 2.6% of 3rd graders and 9.2% of 5th graders were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 18.9% and 14.5% for the Hazelwood district, respectively. The school's English Language Arts proficiency rates are also significantly below the district and state averages. Twillman Elementary also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.2% to 42.3% in recent years, much higher than the state average.

Compared to other Hazelwood district schools, Twillman Elementary's academic performance is the lowest, with nearby schools like Jamestown Elementary, Arrowpoint Elementary, and Keeven Elementary performing significantly better. The high rates of chronic absenteeism and the large proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds at Twillman Elementary and the surrounding schools may be contributing factors to their low academic performance.
