Rogers Elementary serves kindergarten through fifth grade as a regular public school in the Mehlville R-IX School District, located in the southern part of St. Louis County. The school sits within the city of St. Louis, an independent city with a broad-based economy that includes manufacturing, services, transportation, and a strong presence of research universities and federal agencies. Families in this area have access to major cultural institutions like the Gateway Arch, Forest Park, and the Saint Louis Zoo, while the local housing market reflects a mix of affordability and stability, with home values and rents that fall near the middle range for the region.
Academically, Rogers Elementary posts results that place it in the top quarter of all districts in St. Louis County when looking at overall proficiency across tested subjects and grades. That is a clear strength. On the Missouri Assessment Program, students in third, fourth, and fifth grade performed solidly in mathematics, with proficiency rates consistently above the midpoint for the county. In English language arts, third and fifth graders also showed strong outcomes; fourth-grade ELA results were suppressed and not reported. Fifth-grade science results followed the same positive pattern. For a family weighing elementary options, these numbers suggest a school where most students are meeting or exceeding state expectations in core subjects.
The student body is predominantly white, with smaller representations of Asian, Black, Hispanic, and multiracial students. A modest share of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating an economically mixed but broadly middle-income enrollment. Special education and English learner populations were not reported in the data available, which means a parent interested in those supports should ask the school directly about their programs. The school is neither a charter nor a magnet, and no Title I status was recorded.
The building serves roughly four hundred students across kindergarten through fifth grade, which for an elementary school is a typical size for its grade band. A graduation rate does not apply, as the school does not serve high school grades. Teacher staffing, class sizes, discipline data, and attendance rates were not available in the platform data, so a complete picture of the day-to-day environment would require a visit or conversation with school leadership.
On the housing front, the zip code area around the school shows home values that have risen modestly over the past year, while the broader St. Louis County market has seen a slight dip in median listing prices and a modest increase in supply. Rents are in line with national affordability benchmarks. For a family relocating into the area, the neighborhood offers a reasonably priced entry point into a district that performs well academically.
No recent district-level changes such as boundary adjustments, curriculum overhauls, or property tax referendums were identified in public records, so parents should assume the district operates on a consistent footing.
Rogers Elementary presents itself as a reliably performing neighborhood school within a district that compares favorably to others in St. Louis County. Its academic results are a draw, and its student composition and economic profile are typical for a suburban-style setting within the county. Families looking for a straightforward elementary experience with solid test outcomes and a manageable school size will find it a strong candidate, though those with specific special education or English learner needs will want to gather more details directly from the school.
