Summary

Prairie View Elementary is a public elementary school in O'Fallon, Missouri, serving 718 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Wentzville R-IV School District, which is ranked 42 out of 367 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Prairie View Elementary generally performs above the state average, it tends to lag behind other schools in the Wentzville R-IV district, particularly in mathematics. For example, the school's 3rd grade math proficiency rate was 41.5% in 2024-2025, compared to 52% for the district and 41.4% for the state. Additionally, the school has seen higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.7% to 24.3% in recent years, which is higher than the nearby Wentzville R-IV schools. Prairie View's performance on subgroup metrics is also mixed, with the school ranking relatively well for Hispanic and White students but struggling with Special Education and Low Socioeconomic Status students.

Prairie View Elementary is located in close proximity to several high-performing elementary schools, such as Discovery Ridge Elementary, Crossroads Elementary, and Emge Elementary, which consistently outperform Prairie View on various metrics. Over the past several years, Prairie View's statewide ranking has declined, suggesting that the school may be facing challenges in keeping pace with its higher-performing neighbors. The school's increasing percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, coupled with its lower performance for low-income and special education students, indicates that it may be facing socioeconomic challenges that are impacting student outcomes.

What people are saying

by a parent
Thursday, May 20, 2021

I have only started to realized how insidious and malignant the school is since the pandemic. It was until then did I have a chance to SEE what my children were being taught during remote learning. It was absolutely filled with Critical Race Theory and anti-conservative propaganda, teachers and principal were aggressively indoctrinating their own political agenda. They also teach anti-history. I could recount 4 sessions with the teachers, principal, and vice superintendent, asking and pleading with them to stay politically neutral. They of course completely IGNORED me. And due to pandemic, I have no way of knowing any of the parents, so that kept me isolated from reaching out to other parents. It is terrifying these "educators" think they have to right to indoctrinate and brainwash my children. They expect me to just go away out of frustration. But I will not shut up, our taxpayers hard-earned money pay for your salaries! You have to crawl through my dead body before you could shut me up. Close Quote
