Summary

Wohlwend Elementary is a public elementary school located in Saint Louis, Missouri, serving 416 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Mehlville R-Ix school district, which is ranked 62 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wohlwend Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past several years, dropping from 460 out of 1,058 Missouri elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 367 out of 900 in 2024-2025, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. In comparison, nearby schools like Mosaic Elementary and Point Elementary have consistently higher rankings, with 5-star and 4-star ratings, respectively. Wohlwend Elementary's student performance on the MAP (Missouri Assessment Program) tests is generally below the Mehlville R-Ix district and the state averages across various grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, Wohlwend Elementary has had consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15.6% to 20.6% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average.

While Wohlwend Elementary has a relatively low percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 24.52% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, the school's declining performance and high chronic absenteeism rates suggest the need for targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes. By learning from the practices of nearby high-performing schools, Wohlwend Elementary may be able to identify and implement effective approaches to support the academic and overall well-being of its students.
