Neodesha High

Summary:

Neodesha High is a public high school serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 341 students in Neodesha, Kansas, which is part of the Neodesha School District. The school's performance has been uneven, with periods of strong academic achievement followed by significant declines, ranking as high as 89th out of 318 Kansas high schools in 2023-2024 but as low as 245th out of 320 in 2020-2021.

Neodesha High outperforms the state average in several key subject areas, particularly in 10th grade Mathematics and English Language Arts, but struggles in other areas like 8th grade Mathematics and Science. Despite having a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (55.13%), the school's low-income students perform better than the state average, ranking 49th out of 249 Kansas high schools in 2023-2024. However, the school's special education students have performed poorly, ranking 108th out of 122 Kansas high schools in 2022-2023.

Compared to nearby schools, Chanute High outperforms Neodesha High in most academic areas, while Altoona-Midway Middle/High School and Cherryvale Senior / Middle School struggle academically, with significantly lower proficiency rates than Neodesha High and the state average in most subject areas. Neodesha High's ability to effectively serve its high-needs student population, including low-income and special education students, will be crucial in improving overall outcomes and competitiveness with 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.
