Marissa Junior & Senior High School

Summary:

Marissa Junior & Senior High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in Marissa, Illinois, with 260 students. The school is part of the Marissa CUSD 40 district, which is ranked 644 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Marissa Junior & Senior High School's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated, ranging from 87.5% to 95.7% in recent years, it is generally higher than the state average but lower than some nearby high-performing schools like Mascoutah High School (95.5%) and Okawville Junior/Senior High School (89.4%). However, the school's test scores are consistently below state averages, with only 18.6% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in SAT Mathematics and 7% proficient or better in SAT English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 26.1% and 31.1%, respectively. Additionally, Marissa Junior & Senior High School has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 7.4% in 2019-2020 to 47.6% in 2021-2022, which is much higher than the state average and nearby schools.

Marissa Junior & Senior High School also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 61.81% to 62.69% in recent years, significantly higher than nearby schools like Mascoutah High School (20.05%) and Okawville Junior/Senior High School (25.81%). The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as White students and students with disabilities, and its relatively high spending per student (ranging from $13,803 to $16,943) does not seem to be reflected in its academic outcomes compared to nearby schools.

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.
