Summary

Lemasters Elementary is a public elementary school located in Saint Louis, Missouri, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 283 students. The school is part of the Riverview Gardens School District, which is ranked 363 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lemasters Elementary faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 55.1% to 65.3% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools within the Riverview Gardens district. The school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests, is also consistently low across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 32.6% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the state average of 41.4%. The school's performance is also significantly lower than the Riverview Gardens district average and the nearby schools within the district.

The data shows that Lemasters Elementary is not an outlier within the Riverview Gardens district, as the nearby schools, such as Gibson Elementary, Moline Elementary, Koch Elementary, and Meadows Elementary, also have very low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rates. This suggests that the challenges faced by Lemasters Elementary are systemic within the Riverview Gardens School District and may require a comprehensive, district-wide approach to address.
