Macksville High

Summary:

Macksville High is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in Macksville, Kansas, with a total enrollment of 86 students. The school is part of the Macksville School District, which is ranked 199 out of 266 districts in Kansas and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Macksville High has consistently underperformed the state average in proficiency rates for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 21.05% of 10th-grade students at Macksville High were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 27.57%. The school has also struggled to serve its diverse student population effectively, with particularly low performance among Hispanic and Low Socioeconomic Status (SES) students. In contrast, the nearby Larned Senior High and St. John High schools generally outperform Macksville High in academic metrics and student group performance.

Despite spending $16,655 per student, which is higher than the nearby Larned Senior High and St. John High schools, Macksville High's performance has declined over the years, as evidenced by its decreasing statewide ranking and SchoolDigger star rating. The high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at Macksville High (68.6% in 2022-2023) suggests that the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which may contribute to the academic struggles. Addressing these underlying factors may be crucial for improving the school's 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.
