Summary

Sigel Elementary Community Education Center is a public elementary school in the St. Louis City School District, serving grades PK-6 with 183 students. The school has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Missouri, with a statewide ranking between 865-993 out of around 900 schools in recent years.

Sigel Elementary faces significant challenges, with extremely low academic achievement, high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 48-54.6% in recent years, and a student population that is entirely from low-income backgrounds. In 2024-2025, only 9.2% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in math, compared to 16.5% in St. Louis City and 41.4% statewide. The surrounding traditional public schools in the district, such as Hodgen Elementary and Dewey School-International Studies, also struggle with similar issues.

However, some nearby charter schools, such as The Soulard School and Lafayette Preparatory Academy, demonstrate much stronger academic performance, with significantly higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates. This highlights the potential for alternative school models to better serve students in this community, which faces systemic challenges within the St. Louis City School District.
