Summary

Morgan County R-I Elementary is a public elementary school located in Stover, Missouri, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 436 students. The school is part of the Morgan County R-I school district, which is ranked 151 out of 367 districts in Missouri and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

While Morgan County R-I Elementary has seen an increase in spending per student, from $8,195 in 2018-2019 to $10,634 in 2021-2022, the school's academic performance remains a concern. Its test scores in Mathematics and English Language Arts are generally below the state averages, with only a few exceptions. Additionally, the school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.7% to 20.9% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the nearby Latham Elementary (14.5%), Lincoln Elementary (16.9%), and Tipton Elementary (17.5%).

One notable strength of Morgan County R-I Elementary is its high ranking (4 out of 5 stars) for serving low-income students, as the school has an exceptionally high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 99.27% to 99.77% over the past few years. This suggests that the school is effectively supporting its economically disadvantaged population, despite the overall academic challenges it faces. As the school district continues to invest in its students, it will be important to monitor whether these increased resources translate into improved academic outcomes for all students at Morgan County R-I Elementary.
