Summary

Claude Brown Elementary is a public elementary school located in Troy, Missouri, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 418 students. The school is part of the Troy R-III School District, which is ranked 115 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Claude Brown Elementary's test scores in Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) are generally on par with or slightly above the district and state averages, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 11.4% in 2023-2024 to 24.2% in 2023-2024. This is higher than the state average and the district average, and is also seen in nearby schools like Hawk Point Elementary and Cuivre Park Elementary. Additionally, the school has seen a steady increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, rising from 14.82% in 2021-2022 to 25.36% in 2023-2024.

Interestingly, Hawk Point Elementary, another school within the Troy R-III School District, consistently outperforms Claude Brown Elementary in test scores, particularly in Mathematics and Science. Meanwhile, Cuivre Park Elementary and Wm. R. Cappel Elementary have similar performance to Claude Brown Elementary, with some areas of strength and weakness. The school's relatively high spending per student, which has increased from $8,113 in 2018-2019 to $10,619 in 2021-2022, suggests that the allocation and utilization of these resources may need to be examined to ensure they are effectively supporting student learning.
