Summary

North Elementary is a public elementary school located in Holts Summit, Missouri, serving 382 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Jefferson City School District, which is ranked 146 out of 367 districts in the state.

North Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 204 out of 901 Missouri elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 502 out of 900 in 2024-2025. The school generally performs below the district and state averages in proficiency rates on the MAP tests, with the exception of its 5th-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate, which was higher than the district and state in 2024-2025. North Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 50.79% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. The school has also experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 10.5% in 2023-2024 to 26.6% in 2021-2022.

While North Elementary's performance is generally lower than the nearby Belair Elementary and West Elementary, it outperforms some other nearby schools, such as East Elementary. The high percentage of low-income students at North Elementary appears to be a significant factor in its academic performance, and addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism could be an important area of focus for the school and district.
