Summary:
The 63015 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Nike Elementary, which serves grades PK-4 and is part of the Meramec Valley R-III school district. While Nike Elementary has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, the school's performance is a mixed bag, with some academic areas exceeding district and state averages, while others fall short.
Nike Elementary's chronic absenteeism rate of 22.4% is higher than the state average, and the school serves a relatively high-need student population, with a 50.25% free/reduced lunch rate. However, the school's spending per student of $12,209 is higher than the state average, and its student-teacher ratio of 13.8 is relatively low, which could be a strength. In terms of test scores, Nike Elementary has seen some successes, with 3rd grade ELA proficiency and 4th grade ELA proficiency exceeding district and state averages, but 3rd grade math proficiency falling below.
Overall, the data suggests that Nike Elementary has room for improvement, particularly in addressing chronic absenteeism and ensuring consistent academic performance across all grades and subjects. The school's high-need student population and the district's investment in resources may indicate a focus on supporting these students, but the fluctuating rankings and mixed test scores suggest that more work may be needed to ensure all students at Nike Elementary are reaching their full potential.
