Summary

Fairmount Elementary is a public elementary school located in St. Peters, Missouri, serving 1,026 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Francis Howell R-III School District, which is ranked 22 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Fairmount Elementary has consistently performed well, ranking in the top 20-25% of Missouri elementary schools over the past several years. The school's student performance on state assessments (MAP tests) is generally above the state and district averages, particularly in English Language Arts. For example, in 2024-2025, Fairmount's 5th-grade students scored 59% proficient or better in ELA, compared to 65.3% for the Francis Howell R-III district and 44.3% statewide. The school's performance is especially strong in the lower grades, with 3rd and 4th-grade ELA proficiency rates consistently above 50%. However, Fairmount's performance for students with disabilities and in the gifted and talented program has been more mixed, with rankings ranging from top 25% to bottom 25% in recent years.

Compared to nearby schools in the Francis Howell R-III district, such as Castlio Elementary, Central Elementary, and Henderson Elementary, Fairmount Elementary's performance is generally stronger, particularly in ELA. However, some other nearby schools, such as Becky-David Elementary, have even stronger academic performance, ranking in the top 10% of Missouri elementary schools. Additionally, Fairmount Elementary has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 13.3% to 18.1% over the past few years, which may be an area for the school to focus on improving.

They are wonderful in everyway.. They will bend over backwards to help their families.. Because of them I get to keep my daughter with her friends and class that she grew up with Go Class 2020!!!! Now we get to start our baby girl in the same schools her big sisters went to.. I've been stressed for the last few months trying to figure it out.. They made me cry today with joy not sadness like I had been for months.. Telling me everything was gonna be okay.. My girls will finish school where they started.. Thank you for making my year so much brighter and happier than it has been for a very long time.. Close Quote
