Summary

Fisk Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Twin Rivers R-X school district in Fisk, Missouri. With 329 students, the school has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Missouri elementary schools by SchoolDigger, receiving a 1-star rating out of 5 for the past several years.

Fisk Elementary faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, student engagement, and resource allocation compared to its peers. The school consistently underperforms the state and district averages on MAP testing across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 15.3% of 5th graders at Fisk were proficient or better in Math, compared to 38.2% statewide and 34.8% in the Twin Rivers R-X district. Additionally, Fisk Elementary has had very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.3% to 22.3% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school also serves a predominantly low-income student population, with extremely high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 69.91% to 98.55% over the past few years.

Interestingly, Fisk Elementary performs significantly worse than the nearby Dexter R-Xi schools, which are ranked much higher (4 out of 5 stars) and have much stronger academic performance. For example, in 2024-2025, 49.9% of 5th graders at Central Elementary in Dexter were proficient or better in Math, compared to only 15.3% at Fisk. The low spending per student and high student-teacher ratio at Fisk Elementary may indicate a lack of resources and staffing to support student learning and engagement, which could be contributing to the school's poor performance.
