Royal Heights Elementary Improvements 2025

A Floorplan of Royal Heights Elementary depicting additions for kindergarten classrooms, an Early Childhood classroom, and renovations of the library, cafeteria, and art classrooms.

Overview

Royal Heights Elementary was originally constructed, making it one of Joplin Schools’ oldest campuses in use today. Additions were made 1954, 1965, and 1990, and the Safe Room/Gymnasium addition was constructed in 2014. The building currently houses students in PreK through 5th grades, and all Specials class spaces are shared with the library and gym. The Long Range Facility Committee notes that square footage per classroom and program currently falls well below state standard recommendations.
