Summary

Caledonia Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Caledonia, Missouri, with 178 students enrolled. The school is part of the Valley R-VI school district, which is ranked 294 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Caledonia Elementary has consistently underperformed the state average on MAP test proficiency rates across grades and subjects, with its 6th grade math proficiency rate at 21.1% compared to the state average of 45.5% in 2024-2025. The school's performance has been declining over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 482 out of 1,052 schools in 2018-2019 to 600 out of 900 schools in 2024-2025. However, the school's performance for students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds is relatively better, ranking 203 out of 638 Missouri elementary schools in 2024-2025 for this subgroup.

Caledonia Elementary also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching as high as 34.7% in 2021-2022, significantly higher than nearby schools like Truman Learning Center (22.6%), North County Primary (16.4%), and Arcadia Valley Elementary (13.4%). While the school spends more per student ($12,431 in 2021-2022) compared to the state average and some nearby schools, this higher spending does not seem to translate into better student outcomes.
