Meade High

Summary:

Meade High, a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Meade, Kansas, has an enrollment of 92 students and is part of the Meade School District, which is ranked 90 out of 266 districts in the state and rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Meade High has consistently demonstrated strong academic performance, outperforming the state average in several subjects and grade levels on the Kansas Assessment Program (KAP) tests. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 10th-grade students achieved 41.93% proficiency in English Language Arts and 16.12% proficiency in Mathematics, significantly higher than the state averages. Meade High has also maintained a 4- or 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, with a statewide ranking as high as 29th out of 324 Kansas high schools in the 2021-2022 school year. The school's performance is particularly noteworthy for its White student population and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, though its male students have shown relatively lower performance compared to the overall school population.

Meade High's small size, with a student-teacher ratio ranging from 8.3 to 10.1 students per teacher, may contribute to its academic success, but the school also faces challenges in maintaining its excellence and addressing potential disparities in subgroup performance. Compared to nearby schools like Southwestern Heights Junior/Senior High and Fowler High, Meade High significantly outperforms these schools in academic achievement, statewide rankings, and student-teacher ratios, making it an attractive option for families in the region.

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.
