Summary

Wyland Elementary is a public elementary school in Saint Louis, Missouri, serving 518 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.

Wyland Elementary faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 25.8% to 42.5% over the past few years, which are much higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Marvin Elementary, Buder Elementary, and Marion Elementary. Additionally, Wyland's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests, is consistently lower than the state and district averages, ranging from 11.7% to 23.8% across different grade levels and subject areas, compared to the state averages of 38.2% to 44.8%.

Wyland Elementary's performance for specific student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students, is particularly concerning, with the school's rankings among Missouri elementary schools for these subgroups often in the bottom quartile, indicating significant achievement gaps. The school also has an extremely high percentage of students (over 99%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a high concentration of students from low-income families. While Wyland and the other Ritenour School District elementary schools in the area share similar demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, Wyland consistently underperforms its peers, suggesting that factors beyond just student demographics may be contributing to the school's challenges.
