Summary

Schuyler County Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Queen City, Missouri, with 342 students. The school is part of the Schuyler County R-I school district, which is ranked 296 out of 367 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Schuyler County Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Missouri elementary schools, ranging from 454 to 704 out of around 900-1,000 schools over the past 10 years, and has maintained a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of this period, indicating below-average performance compared to other Missouri elementary schools. The school's student performance on state assessments (MAP tests) is significantly below the state averages in both mathematics and English language arts across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade math proficiency rate was 11.4% compared to the state average of 41.4%, and its 6th grade ELA proficiency rate was 30.8% compared to the state average of 39.3%. The school has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 7.1% to 14.9% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

The nearby Ray Miller Elementary and Kirksville Primary generally outperform Schuyler County Elementary on state assessments and have lower chronic absenteeism rates. These schools also serve a lower percentage of students from low-income backgrounds, which may contribute to their stronger academic performance. Addressing the challenges faced by Schuyler County Elementary, such as low academic performance, high poverty rates, and chronic absenteeism, will likely require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach involving the school, district, and community stakeholders.
