Summary

Reeds Spring Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades 2-4 in the Reeds Spring R-IV school district, with 348 students. While the school has been ranked between 380 and 608 out of over 900 Missouri elementary schools in recent years, earning 2-3 out of 5 SchoolDigger stars, it faces several challenges that parents should be aware of.

Academically, Reeds Spring Elementary's proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts (ELA) on the MAP tests are generally below the state averages, especially in 3rd grade. For example, in 2024-2025, only 30.8% of 3rd graders were proficient in Math compared to the state average of 41.4%, and only 31.6% were proficient in ELA compared to 41.8% statewide. The nearby Kirbyville Elementary outperforms Reeds Spring Elementary in 3rd grade Math (50% proficient) and ELA (42.5% proficient). Additionally, Reeds Spring Elementary has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 24.8% to 30.6% in recent years, significantly higher than the 10.5% at Kirbyville Elementary.

While Reeds Spring Elementary has a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 58.72% to 62.01% in recent years, the school's performance for specific student subgroups is mixed. The school performs relatively well for low-income students, but struggles with White students and students with disabilities. For example, White students at Reeds Spring Elementary are ranked in the bottom quarter of Missouri elementary schools, while the school's ranking for special education students is in the bottom 10%. Despite these challenges, the school's proximity to Reeds Spring Primary presents opportunities for collaboration and resource sharing.

Monday, December 30, 2013

We just moved to this district, and my daughter is in 2nd grade. She is attending Reeds Spring Elementary and has done wonderful here. Her teacher calls me or emails me when she notices my daughter is struggling with subjects. I love that she notifies me when she sees this. It shows that she is seeing the areas that my daughter is needing help in and letting me aware of the issues. As well the principle is wonderful. She is on top of what is going on with her kids and helps them strive to do their best. Close Quote
