Summary

Washington Montessori is a public magnet elementary school in Saint Louis, Missouri, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 272 students. The school is part of the St. Louis City School District, which is ranked 329 out of 367 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Washington Montessori consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Missouri elementary schools, with low academic performance on state assessments. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 3.4-14.4% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 41.8-44.8%. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 41.0% to 53.7% in recent years, and nearly all (98.92-100%) of its students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the St. Louis City School District face similar challenges, with low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and high concentrations of economically disadvantaged students. The Biome and KIPP Victory Academy charter schools show slightly better academic performance, but still struggle with high chronic absenteeism. In contrast, North Side Community School, another charter school, has the best academic performance and lowest chronic absenteeism among the nearby schools, suggesting that the charter school model may be more effective in this area.
