Froebel Elementary

Public Grades PK, KG-5

Summary

Froebel Elementary is a public elementary school in Saint Louis, Missouri, serving 176 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the St. Louis City School District, which is ranked 338 out of 376 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Froebel Elementary faces significant challenges compared to both state and local averages. The school has a much higher percentage of African American students (93.18%) than nearby schools, which range from 45.49% to 94.30% African American. Academically, Froebel consistently performs below state and district averages, with only 13.1% of 5th graders proficient or better in Math and 21.7% proficient or better in English Language Arts in 2022-2023. Additionally, 98.3% of Froebel's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. As a result, Froebel has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Missouri elementary schools in recent years.

The struggles faced by Froebel Elementary are not unique, as nearby schools like Meramec Elementary, Shenandoah Elementary, and Mann Elementary also perform poorly on standardized tests and have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Even nearby charter schools, such as South City, KIPP Wonder Academy, and Eagle Tower Grove East, struggle with low academic performance, suggesting that the challenges faced by Froebel Elementary are reflective of broader educational challenges in the area.
