Ozark's East Elementary named one of 8 Missouri Gold Star Schools for 2025
Ozark's East Elementary has been named one of eight Missouri Gold Star Schools for 2025, which recognizes top academic achievement or high performance while serving a significant proportion of disadvantaged students. It was the only school singled out in southwest Missouri. 'These schools demonstrate that academic excellence is possible while striving to help their students find their path to success," Commissioner of Education Karla Eslinger said in a May 14 news release. "We're so proud of their hard work.' The Missouri Gold Star Schools program was established in 1991 and uses the same criteria for nomination as the National Blue Ribbon Schools Program, which will be announced in the fall. Craig Carson, assistant superintendent of learning, said this is the second time East Elementary has been on the list. The first time was in 2014. "We are grateful for the Gold Star recognition for East Elementary," he said. "The staff has worked extremely hard to ensure each child's success." Principal Karen Capen announced the honor to students, teachers and staff. The school serves students in kindergarten through fourth grade. This really speaks to the incredible work our teachers and staff do every day," Capen said, in a release. "They give their best for kids, support each other, and create a school where students can truly thrive.' In 2020, Ozark's West Elementary was named a Missouri Gold Star School and it was followed by a National Blue Ribbon recognition that same year. Missouri's other Gold Star Schools for 2025 include: Collegiate School of Medicine and Bioscience, St. Louis; Conway Elementary, Ladue; Eugene Field Elementary, Poplar Bluff; Green Forest Elementary, Green Forest; James Walker, Blue Springs; Marion County Elementary, Marion County; Steam Academy Middle School, Ferguson-Florissant.
