Summary

Seymour Elementary is a public elementary school serving 316 students in grades PK-5 in Seymour, Missouri, which is part of the Seymour R-II school district. The school has shown mixed performance on state assessments, with 3rd grade math proficiency above the state average but 3rd grade ELA proficiency below. Seymour Elementary also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.5% to 24.8% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Despite Seymour Elementary's relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $8,691 to $10,749, its academic outcomes are not as strong as some of the nearby schools, such as Daniel Webster Elementary and Shook Elementary in the Marshfield R-I district, or Wilder Elementary in the Mansfield R-IV district, which have higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism, and lower free/reduced lunch rates.

Seymour Elementary's performance also varies significantly by student subgroup, with the school ranking 36th out of 101 Missouri elementary schools for special education students, but only 82nd out of 91 for gifted and talented students. Overall, Seymour Elementary faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism, socioeconomic status, and inconsistent academic performance compared to state and local averages, despite its relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending.
