Summary

Lockwood Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Lockwood, Missouri, with 143 students. The school is part of the Lockwood R-I school district, which is ranked 280 out of 367 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Lockwood Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Missouri elementary schools, with performance on state assessments generally below the state averages. Compared to nearby schools like Jasper County Elementary and Dadeville R-II School, Lockwood's academic performance is mixed, lagging behind higher-performing schools but outperforming some lower-performing ones like Greenfield Elementary.

The school faces several challenges, including a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds and high chronic absenteeism rates, which are higher than some nearby schools. While Lockwood Elementary's per-student spending has increased, and its student-teacher ratio has improved, addressing the needs of its student population and improving attendance should be priorities for the school as it works to enhance academic outcomes.
