Summary

Trautwein Elementary is a public elementary school in Saint Louis, Missouri, serving 370 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Mehlville R-IX School District, which is ranked 62 out of 367 districts in the state.

Despite increased funding and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, Trautwein Elementary has consistently underperformed academically compared to the district and state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 27.6% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in MAP Mathematics, compared to 49.7% in the Mehlville district and 41.4% statewide. The school has also struggled with high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 11.6% to 20.6% over the past few years. Trautwein Elementary has ranked in the bottom half of Missouri elementary schools, with a rating as low as 1 or 2 stars out of 5 from SchoolDigger.

Interestingly, nearby schools like Oakville Elementary, Mosaic Elementary, and Blades Elementary have higher academic achievement, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and better rankings among Missouri elementary schools. Despite the increased funding and staffing resources at Trautwein Elementary, the data suggests the school may need to implement more targeted interventions and support systems to improve student outcomes.

The teachers at Trautwein are exceptional...the principle isn't so great. I suspect the recent decline in performance since 2009 is a result of losing one of the best principles ever to exist. Close Quote
