Original Research by School Decision on Windsor Elem.
Windsor Elementary is a regular public school in Imperial, Missouri, serving students from prekindergarten through second grade. It is part of the Windsor C-1 School District. Because it serves only the earliest grades, the school has no state assessment results to report, as Missouri does not test students at this level, nor does it have a graduation rate. For families of young children, the academic focus is on foundational skills in reading, math, and social development, but direct performance metrics from standardized tests are not part of the picture for this building.
The school enrolls a moderate number of students. Its student body is predominantly white, with smaller shares of Hispanic, Black, Asian, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, and multiracial students. About a third of the students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating that the school serves a mix of household incomes, though not particularly high poverty. Data on special education enrollment and English learner enrollment was not reported, so families with children who may need those services should inquire directly with the school to understand what supports are available.
Imperial is a census-designated place and a suburb of St. Louis in Jefferson County. It is primarily residential, with high homeownership and a median property value that sits above the Missouri statewide benchmark. The community is auto-dependent; most residents drive to work, with an average commute that takes them into St. Louis and surrounding areas. Interstate 55 runs through the CDP, providing regional connectivity. The area has seen population and income growth in recent years, and the housing market reflects the broader St. Louis suburban pattern. The community surrounds the historic city of Kimmswick and is home to Mastodon State Historic Site, which serves as a local civic anchor.
For the district as a whole, a recent parent-relevant change came in April 2024, when voters approved an operating tax levy increase. The measure passed with a substantial share of the vote and is projected to generate additional annual revenue for the district. This means property taxes for residents within the Windsor C-1 boundaries have increased, and it signals community support for district operations. No other major district changes were identified in available sources.
The school itself operates as a standard elementary building, not a charter or magnet. No information is available on discipline rates, chronic absenteeism, staffing ratios, or course access, which is typical for a primary school that does not report such data to the standard federal collections. For parents considering Windsor Elementary, the key facts are its early grade span, its location in a growing suburban area, and the recent district levy that funds operations. The absence of test scores is not a weakness but a function of the grade band; families will want to look at the district's elementary outcomes for older grades to gauge academic performance in the broader system. The school website and a direct visit would be the best next steps for understanding classroom environment and early childhood programming.
