Elementary Schools in Bevier C-4

The Bevier C-4 school district in Missouri has only one elementary school, Bevier Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. Based on the available data, Bevier Elementary appears to be a struggling school, with declining performance and significant academic achievement gaps compared to state averages.

Bevier Elementary's statewide ranking has dropped from 417th out of 1,052 Missouri elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 767th out of 906 in 2023-2024, and the school is rated only 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance. The school's proficiency rates on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests are significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 15.5% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in math, compared to the state average of 38.4%. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates and a high percentage of students (60.28%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the school district's relatively high per-student spending of $12,026, the academic outcomes at Bevier Elementary do not appear to be commensurate with the level of resources available. This may suggest a need to re-evaluate the effectiveness of the district's resource allocation and spending priorities to better support the school's improvement efforts. Overall, the data indicates that Bevier Elementary faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, and targeted interventions and support may be necessary to address the school's academic and socioeconomic issues.
