Henry Elementary

Public Grades PK, KG-6

Summary

Henry Elementary is a public elementary school in Saint Louis, Missouri, serving 204 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the St. Louis City School District, which is ranked 353 out of 386 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Henry Elementary faces significant challenges, with consistently high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 50.1% to 66.6% over the past few years, more than double the state average. Academically, the school's performance is among the lowest in Missouri, with only 4.6% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Science, compared to state averages of 43% and 40.8%, respectively. In mathematics, the school's 5th-grade proficiency rate was just 9.2%, far below the state average of 38.4%. While the nearby Peabody Elementary and Columbia Elementary Community Education Center also struggle academically, they generally perform better than Henry Elementary.

The school's challenges are compounded by its high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 98.53% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year, placing it in the bottom 3% of Missouri elementary schools for low socioeconomic status. This persistent underperformance suggests that Henry Elementary requires targeted interventions and support to address the underlying issues and improve student outcomes.
