      * Indicates data has been suppressed due to a small student sample.

      * Indicates data has been suppressed due to a small student sample.

      Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests are scored (or graded) according to four achievement levels: Below Basic, Basic, Proficient, and Advanced. The number shown here is the percentage of students who scored Proficient or Advanced. When comparing scores between years, please remember that the test Missouri gives has changed several times.

      Please note that private schools are not required to participate in these exams.

      In 2019, the average English score in Missouri was 48.7%; the average Math score was 41.9%, source

      Attendance Rate 90/90

      64%

      Schools strive to have at least 90% of their students achieve a 90% attendance rate because kids learn best when they’re in school.

      In 2019, 87.3% of Missouri students were in attendance at least 90% of the time, source.

      Third Grade Reading Scores

      0%

      Third grade is the important time when kids switch from learning to read to reading to learn and is an important benchmark for a student’s educational development.

      In 2019, the average 3rd grade reading score in Missouri was 48.7%, source

      Allena Barber, JA Rogers Parent

      We have two boys that attend JA Rogers Elementary. Cameron is in Kindergarten and Caleb is in the third grade. Caleb has been attending JA Rogers for the past three years. We picked JA Rogers because it is in our neighborhood, plus I have heard great things about the school.

      The teachers that I have come in contact with are very understanding while building a relationship with my kids. JA Rogers is a clean facility inside and out. There are some opportunities for parent involvement, but I think more of the meetings should be held after school. Our family works so I haven’t been able to attend any meetings this year.

      I’d like to see a mentoring program for the kids, by choice, of course. I know it take a village to raise a child, which is why I feel that the students of JA Rogers would greatly benefit from a mentoring program.

      More information for parents is always great. Knowledge is power and I think the more we know will allow us to make better decisions for our kids.
