Summary

McGregor Elementary is a public elementary school in Springfield, Missouri, serving 279 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Springfield R-XII district, which is ranked 177 out of 367 districts in the state.

Despite additional resources being directed to the school, McGregor Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Missouri elementary schools and significantly underperforms the district and state averages on academic measures. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 7.4% of 3rd graders at McGregor were proficient or better in math, compared to 35% in the district and 41.4% statewide. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.9% to 49.1% over the past few years, much higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, McGregor has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high concentration of students from low-income families.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the same district, such as Sunshine Elementary, generally perform better than McGregor on academic measures and have lower chronic absenteeism rates. While McGregor spends significantly more per student than the state average, this additional funding does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes for the school. Addressing the underlying challenges faced by the school and its student population will be crucial for improving its performance and outcomes.
