Summary

Maple Grove Elementary is a public elementary school located in Dittmer, Missouri, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 428 students. It is part of the Northwest R-I School District, which is ranked 123 out of 367 school districts in Missouri and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Maple Grove Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 215 out of 908 Missouri elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 553 out of 900 in 2024-2025, the school has performed well in serving its population of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking 28 out of 532 Missouri elementary schools for this metric in 2021-2022. However, the school's performance on MAP (Missouri Assessment Program) tests is generally below the district and state averages, particularly in Mathematics and English Language Arts. For example, in 2024-2025, only 30.9% of 3rd graders at Maple Grove Elementary were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 46.5% for the district and 41.4% for the state.

Maple Grove Elementary has also experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 14.3% to 26.5% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average of around 15%. This challenge is not unique to Maple Grove, as nearby schools in the Northwest R-I District have also reported high chronic absenteeism rates. Additionally, Maple Grove's per-student spending has increased from $9,737 in 2018-2019 to $11,213 in 2021-2022, which is slightly higher than the district average, but the academic performance does not seem to be commensurate with the higher spending.
