El Dorado High

Summary:

El Dorado High is a public high school in El Dorado, Kansas, serving 494 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the El Dorado school district, which is ranked 243 out of 266 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

El Dorado High consistently ranks in the bottom half of Kansas high schools, with a ranking between 214-284 out of 318-327 schools over the past 8 years. The school's performance on state assessments is significantly below the state averages across all subjects and grade levels, particularly in mathematics, where only 11.29% of 10th-grade students were proficient or better, compared to the state average of 21.31%. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students performing better than White students.

Compared to nearby high-performing schools like Andover Central High School and Andover High School, both part of the Andover school district, El Dorado High's academic performance is significantly lower. However, the school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds and its relatively high per-student spending suggest that additional resources alone may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes. Targeted interventions and a comprehensive approach to addressing the school's academic and demographic challenges may be necessary to help El Dorado High improve its performance.

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.
