Summary

Henry Elementary is a public elementary school located in Ballwin, Missouri, serving 532 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Parkway C-2 School District, which is ranked 39 out of 367 districts in the state and rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Henry Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Missouri, with students consistently outperforming the state and district averages in MAP (Missouri Assessment Program) test scores for Mathematics, Science, and English Language Arts across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 67.6% of 3rd graders, 70% of 4th graders, and 51.9% of 5th graders at Henry Elementary were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 56.6% and 41.4% at the district and state levels, respectively. However, the school's performance in serving its Asian and Gifted and Talented student subgroups has been more mixed, with rankings ranging from the top 4% to the bottom 46% of Missouri elementary schools.

When compared to nearby schools in the Parkway C-2 district, Henry Elementary consistently outperforms Sorrento Springs Elementary and Claymont Elementary in MAP test scores, but the nearby Mason Ridge Elementary and Pierremont Elementary schools demonstrate even stronger academic performance. Additionally, Henry Elementary's relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 7% to 17.1% over the past few years, are a concern that the school may need to address.
