Scott City Middle

Summary:

Scott City Middle School is a public middle school in Scott City, Kansas, serving 426 students in grades 3-8. The school is part of the Scott County School District, which is ranked 204 out of 266 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Scott City Middle School performs below the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, with particularly low proficiency rates in 8th grade. However, the school does better in 3rd and 4th grade English Language Arts. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic and English Language Learner students performing significantly worse than their peers statewide, while the Special Education and Disabled student groups perform relatively well.

The school's spending per student is slightly below the state average, and it has a relatively high student-teacher ratio. These resource allocation challenges may be contributing to the academic struggles faced by the school. Additionally, the school's location in a rural, low-income community may be a significant factor in its performance, as research has shown that socioeconomic status and geographic location can have a substantial impact on student outcomes. Addressing these issues will be crucial for improving the school's overall performance and ensuring that all students have access to a high-quality education.

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.
