Southern High

Summary:

Southern High is a public magnet high school located in Louisville, Kentucky, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,387 students. The school is part of the Jefferson County School District, which is ranked 141 out of 159 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its high spending per student, which was $16,126 and $15,426 in the 2018-2019 and 2017-2018 school years, respectively, Southern High consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of Kentucky high schools, with a ranking between 223-254 out of 267-290 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on state assessments is significantly below the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels, and its 4-year graduation rate of 84.7% is lower than the district and state averages. Additionally, Southern High struggles to serve its diverse student population effectively, with low rankings for various student subgroups, such as female, male, African American, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status students.

When compared to nearby schools in the Jefferson County School District, such as Louisville Male High and Fern Creek High, which have higher academic achievement, graduation rates, and student subgroup performance, Southern High performs significantly worse. The school's location in a high-poverty area, the district's overall low ranking, and the potential for systemic challenges within the Jefferson County School District may be contributing factors to its underperformance.

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.
