Summary

Kratz Elementary is a public elementary school in Saint Louis, Missouri, serving 467 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Ritenour School District, which is ranked 321 out of 367 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kratz Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Missouri elementary schools, with a ranking between 721 and 904 out of around 900-1,000 schools. The school's performance on state assessments is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 9.5% of 3rd graders at Kratz were proficient or better in math, compared to 17.6% in the Ritenour district and 41.4% statewide. Kratz also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 33.8% to 42.5% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages.

While the nearby schools in the Ritenour district, such as Wyland Elementary, Iveland Elementary, and Buder Elementary, also perform poorly on state assessments and have high rates of chronic absenteeism and low-income students, some of these schools have slightly higher academic performance and better rankings compared to Kratz. Despite the relatively high spending per student at Kratz Elementary, the school's academic performance remains significantly below state and district averages, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes.
