Summary

Sappington Elementary is a public elementary school in Saint Louis, Missouri, serving 503 students in grades K-5. It is part of the highly-ranked Lindbergh Schools district, which is rated 5 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Sappington Elementary has consistently performed in the top 20% of Missouri elementary schools over the past decade, with strong academic outcomes, particularly in English Language Arts. The school's special education students have also excelled, ranking in the top 10 Missouri elementary schools for this subgroup. Sappington spends more per student and maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio compared to state averages, which may contribute to its success.

While Sappington Elementary demonstrates exceptional academic performance, the school's demographics suggest potential equity concerns, as its ranking for the White student subgroup is lower than its overall ranking. Additionally, some nearby schools, such as Long Elementary and Concord Elementary, also rank in the top 5-10% of Missouri elementary schools, indicating that the Lindbergh Schools district as a whole provides a strong educational environment for its students.
