Summary

Northview Elementary is a public elementary school in Jennings, Missouri, serving 503 students in grades PK-6. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Missouri elementary schools over the past decade, with a 0 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Northview Elementary faces significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates (ranging from 44.1% to 49.9%), well below average academic performance across all grade levels and subject areas, and a student population that is 100% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. For example, in 2024-2025, only 3.5% of 3rd graders at Northview Elementary were proficient or better in math, compared to 22.9% in the Jennings district and 41.4% statewide. The school's performance for students with disabilities is particularly concerning, ranking in the bottom 5% of Missouri elementary schools.

Interestingly, Northview Elementary performs significantly worse than the other elementary schools in the Jennings district, as well as schools in the neighboring Riverview Gardens and St. Louis City districts. For example, Fairview Primary, a school just 1.46 miles away, has much higher proficiency rates in math and English language arts. Addressing the root causes of Northview Elementary's chronic absenteeism and implementing more effective instructional strategies will be crucial to improving the school's performance.
