Based on the available data, Hamilton Elementary appears to be the standout school in this area. The school consistently ranks among the top 104 out of 900 elementary schools in Missouri and maintains a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating strong overall performance. Hamilton Elementary's test scores consistently exceed the state averages in mathematics, science, and English language arts, with a particularly impressive 72.3% of 4th-grade students proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the state average of 43.8%. Additionally, the school has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 15.2%, which is better than the state average.
In contrast, New York Elementary has a much lower statewide ranking, with its highest ranking being 469 out of 1,108 schools in 2012-2013. The limited data available for New York Elementary makes it difficult to assess its academic standing compared to Hamilton Elementary and the state averages. However, the school's significantly higher spending per student ($19,282) compared to Hamilton Elementary ($11,343) does not appear to translate into better academic outcomes based on the information provided.
