Summary

Jonesburg Elementary is a public elementary school serving 162 students in grades PK-5 in Jonesburg, Missouri, which is part of the Montgomery County R-II school district. However, the school has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages on standardized tests, with only 24.4% of 3rd graders proficient or better in Math and 16.3% proficient or better in English Language Arts in the 2024-2025 school year.

Jonesburg Elementary also faces challenges with high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 9.2% to 19.0% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 50% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. These factors may be contributing to the school's overall underperformance, as it has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Missouri elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

When comparing Jonesburg Elementary to nearby schools, the differences in academic performance are stark. For example, New Haven Elementary, which is 17.62 miles away, has significantly higher academic performance, with 54.5% of 3rd graders proficient or better in Math and 60.6% proficient or better in English Language Arts in the 2024-2025 school year. This suggests that Jonesburg Elementary may need additional support and resources to improve student outcomes and close the achievement gap with its peers.
