of 900 Missouri Elementary Schools

Better than 7% of Missouri elementary schools

Summary

Moline Elementary is a public elementary school located in Saint Louis, Missouri, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 294 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.

Moline Elementary consistently performs significantly below the state and district averages in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in Mathematics ranged from 7.8% to 18.5%, compared to the state average of 38.2% to 41.4%. Similarly, in English Language Arts, the proficiency rates ranged from 14.3% to 15.2%, compared to the state average of 41.8% to 44.8%. The school also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 36.5% to 65.3% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages. Additionally, Moline Elementary has a very high percentage of students (98.97% to 100%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high concentration of students from low-income families.

While the overall performance of Moline Elementary is low, the school's ranking for African American students is relatively higher, ranging from 54 to 106 out of 190-191 Missouri elementary schools. This suggests that the school may be doing a better job of supporting its African American student population compared to its overall student body. The nearby schools within the Riverview Gardens School District, such as Gibson Elementary, Danforth Elementary, and Lemasters Elementary, also perform poorly on academic measures, suggesting that the challenges faced by Moline Elementary are systemic within the district.
