Summary:

St John High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in Saint John, Kansas, with a total enrollment of 139 students. The school is part of the St John-Hudson School District, which is ranked 187 out of 266 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Analysis of St John High School reveals significant academic challenges. The school has consistently underperformed compared to the state average in proficiency across subjects, with only 21.73% of students proficient in English Language Arts, 24.62% in Mathematics, and 11.1% in Science, compared to state averages of 33.55%, 31.6%, and 32.28%, respectively. The school has also struggled to support the academic achievement of certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic and low-socioeconomic status students, who have consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Kansas high schools. Over the past several years, St John High's statewide ranking has steadily declined, from a high of 67 out of 313 Kansas high schools to a low of 262 out of 327, suggesting the school is falling behind its peers.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Macksville High and Stafford Middle School/High School, St John High generally performs worse in academic proficiency across various subjects and grade levels. This, combined with the school's relatively low spending per student and high student-teacher ratio, may be contributing factors to its academic struggles, as these resource constraints could limit the school's ability to provide personalized support and interventions for students.

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.
