Summary

Weaver Elementary is a public elementary school in Springfield, Missouri, serving 191 students in grades PK-5. It is part of the Springfield R-XII school district, which is ranked 177 out of 367 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Weaver Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Missouri elementary schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 612 and 904 out of over 900 schools. It has maintained a 1 or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is a lower-performing school compared to the state average. The school's academic performance is particularly low in mathematics, with proficiency rates ranging from 9.4% to 20% across grades 3-5 in recent years, significantly below the district and state averages. Weaver Elementary also faces extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.9% to 53.1% in recent years, which is a major concern as it is closely linked to lower academic achievement.

While the nearby Williams Elementary, Robberson Elementary, and McGregor Elementary also perform below the district and state averages, York Elementary, located about 1.2 miles from Weaver, stands out as a higher-performing school with significantly better math and English Language Arts proficiency rates. Addressing the challenges at Weaver Elementary, such as the high chronic absenteeism and low academic performance, should be a priority for the school and the district to improve student outcomes.
