Summary

Newburg Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Newburg, Missouri, with 160 students. The school is part of the Newburg R-II school district, which is ranked 301 out of 367 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Newburg Elementary faces significant challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom quartile of Missouri elementary schools over the past 5 years. Only 20-30% of students are proficient in math and English Language Arts, well below the state averages. The school also has a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 64-70%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Additionally, Newburg Elementary struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 22.5% to 27.3%, which can negatively impact student learning.

In comparison, the nearby Waynesville R-VI district schools, such as Partridge Elementary, Thayer Elementary, and Wood Elementary, significantly outperform Newburg Elementary, with 40-70% of students proficient in math and English Language Arts. These schools also have lower rates of poverty and chronic absenteeism. Addressing the challenges at Newburg Elementary will likely require a comprehensive approach, including targeted interventions, increased support for students and families, and a focus on improving school climate and attendance.
