Summary

Edgar Murray Elementary is a public elementary school located in Saint Clair, Missouri, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 428 students. The school is part of the St. Clair R-Xiii District, which is ranked 262 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Edgar Murray Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Missouri elementary schools, ranging from 505th out of 901 schools in 2020-2021 to 657th out of 900 schools in 2024-2025. The school has maintained a 1- or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years, indicating below-average performance compared to other Missouri elementary schools. While the school's performance for low socioeconomic status students has been relatively better, its white and special education student subgroups have consistently ranked in the bottom half and bottom quarter of Missouri elementary schools, respectively. Additionally, Edgar Murray Elementary has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15.4% to 22.0% over the past few years, which are significantly higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Sullivan Elementary, Clearview Elementary, and Beaufort Elementary, which have significantly higher academic performance and statewide rankings, the challenges faced by Edgar Murray Elementary may be specific to the St. Clair R-Xiii District. Addressing the root causes of these issues, such as chronic absenteeism and targeted support for underperforming student subgroups, may be crucial for improving the school's overall performance and outcomes.
