Truman Elementary

Public Grades

Summary

Truman Elementary is a public elementary school in Pacific, Missouri, serving 196 students in grades K-4. It is part of the Meramec Valley R-III school district, which is ranked 107 out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Truman Elementary is part of a generally well-performing district, the school itself faces some challenges. It has consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.6% to 29.7%, compared to nearby schools like Robertsville Elementary (22.4%), Nike Elementary (22.4%), and Coleman Elementary (22.4%). Additionally, Truman Elementary's test scores in Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) for 3rd and 4th grades have been lower than the district and state averages. For example, in 2023-2024, only 41.6% of 3rd graders and 47.5% of 4th graders at Truman Elementary were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 51.1% and 54.9% for the Meramec Valley R-III district, respectively.

Truman Elementary also serves a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 39.8% to 53.33% over the past few years, which is higher than the rates of nearby schools like Zitzman Elementary (34.16%) and Nike Elementary (39.36%). This suggests that the school serves a more economically disadvantaged population, which may be a contributing factor to its lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates. Overall, Truman Elementary faces some challenges compared to nearby schools, but its inconsistent performance over the years suggests that there may be opportunities for improvement with the right strategies and support.
