Summary

Willow Brook Elementary is a public elementary school in Creve Coeur, Missouri, serving 440 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Pattonville R-III school district, which is ranked 165 out of 367 districts in the state.

Willow Brook Elementary has consistently ranked in the middle range of Missouri elementary schools over the past 5 years, with mixed performance on state assessments. While the school has shown strengths in the performance of African American and White students, it has struggled with the achievement of English Language Learners, Special Education students, and students from low-income backgrounds. The school's chronic absenteeism rates have been relatively high, ranging from 16.7% to 24.0% in recent years, which is higher than the state average. However, the school's spending per student has increased, and the student-teacher ratio has decreased, indicating smaller class sizes.

Compared to nearby schools, Willow Brook Elementary's performance is generally in the middle range. Old Bonhomme Elementary and Spoede Elementary in the Ladue district consistently outperform Willow Brook on state assessments and have much lower chronic absenteeism rates. In contrast, Iveland Elementary and Buder Elementary in the Ritenour district have significantly lower performance and higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to Willow Brook.

I love everything about Willow Brook. The teaching staff is extremely strong and cares about kids. We have found Dr. Aaron, the principal, approachable and child centered. What we love the most about Willow Brook is the diverse atmosphere of the students that attend the school. The staff focuses on academically challenging each student while teaching them good character. I have really enjoyed our time at Willow Brook and wish all schools could be like this one. Close Quote

I would not recommend this school to anyone who cares about kid's education and value the quality of education. The Principal of this school dismisses any parent's concern and stand up for the teacher but not for the student. I have very bad experience in interaction with Principal who always takes the teacher's side and does not want to change anything. If you want your child been an educated person, this is school is not for you, if you want your child just to know how to write basic information and to know how to calculate using calculator, perhaps this school is fine for you.
