George Washington Carver Elementary

Public Grades PK, KG-5

Summary

George Washington Carver Elementary is a public elementary school in Saint Louis, Missouri, serving 118 students in grades PK-5 and part of the St. Louis City School District.

Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, George Washington Carver Elementary consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Missouri, with only 7.2% of 4th-grade students proficient or better in Mathematics and English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 44.4% and 46.2%, respectively. The school's performance is significantly lower than nearby schools like Gateway Elementary and Cole Elementary. George Washington Carver Elementary also has high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 26.2% to 53.7% in recent years, which likely contributes to its poor academic outcomes.

The school serves a predominantly African American student population, with 97.46% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This concentration of disadvantaged students may require the school to implement targeted interventions and support systems to address their unique needs. However, despite the school's relatively high per-student spending, its academic performance remains persistently low, suggesting that the allocation and utilization of resources may not be effectively addressing the root causes of the school's challenges.
