Summary

Wild Horse Elementary is a public elementary school located in Chesterfield, Missouri, serving 476 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the highly-ranked Rockwood R-VI School District, which is ranked 27th out of 367 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wild Horse Elementary has consistently been ranked among the top elementary schools in Missouri, currently holding the 61st spot out of 900 schools for the 2024-2025 school year. The school's strong academic performance is evident in its significantly higher proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts compared to the district and state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 75.2% of 3rd graders at Wild Horse Elementary were proficient in Mathematics, compared to 61.6% for the district and 41.4% for the state. Similar trends are observed in other grade levels and subject areas, with the school's Science proficiency rate for 5th graders also outpacing the district and state.

While Wild Horse Elementary excels in the performance of certain student subgroups, such as Asian and White students, as well as English Language Learners, the school's performance for students from low-income backgrounds is relatively weaker compared to other subgroups. This suggests that the school may need to focus on addressing the unique needs and challenges faced by these students to ensure equitable educational opportunities and outcomes. Additionally, the school's fluctuating chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 14.2% to 22.3%, is an area that may require targeted strategies to improve attendance and support student learning.

The school has a warm air around. Every staff in the school is super helpful. The concern they display to ensure that every student becomes his best is phenomenal. The principal and vice-principal are very approachable and so is every staff member.

The special ed teachers go several extra miles to make sure the student makes progress. I am extremely happy that my son is studying here. We feel blessed. Close Quote
