Spearville Junior/Senior High

Summary:

Spearville Junior/Senior High is a public high school located in Spearville, Kansas, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 168 students. The school is part of the Spearville school district, which is ranked 26th out of 266 districts in Kansas and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Spearville Junior/Senior High has shown strong academic performance, with students consistently outperforming the state average in proficiency rates for English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics across multiple grade levels. In the 2023-2024 school year, Spearville's ELA proficiency rates for all grades (41.58%) were significantly higher than the state average (33.55%), and their Mathematics proficiency rates for all grades (35.64%) also exceeded the state average (31.6%). Compared to the nearby schools, such as Kinsley Junior/Senior High and Hodgeman County High, Spearville's academic performance is generally stronger. The school has also demonstrated equitable outcomes across different student subgroups, with both female and male students performing well compared to their peers statewide.

Despite spending less per student than some nearby schools, such as Dodge City High School, Spearville Junior/Senior High has been able to maintain a low student-teacher ratio and achieve strong academic outcomes. This suggests the school may be effectively allocating its resources to support student learning and success. However, the nearby Dodge City High School has a much higher rate of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating potential challenges in serving economically disadvantaged students in the region. This could be an area for further investigation and potential collaboration between the schools to identify best practices and strategies for supporting students from low-income backgrounds.

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.
