Compared to nearby schools like Altamont High School, Neoga Junior/Senior High School, and Effingham High School, Dieterich's performance on standardized tests is mixed, with some strengths and areas for improvement. However, the school maintains a relatively high graduation rate, ranging from 87.5% to 93.5% over the past few years, which is comparable to or slightly lower than nearby schools.

One notable aspect of Dieterich Junior/Senior High School is its relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, suggesting a higher socioeconomic status of the student population compared to surrounding schools. This socioeconomic advantage could be a contributing factor to the school's academic performance, but the fluctuations in statewide ranking indicate the need for a more consistent approach to educational excellence. Exploring opportunities for collaboration with high-performing neighboring schools, such as Teutopolis High School, could be a valuable strategy for Dieterich to enhance its educational outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
