DeLaSalle Charter High School

Summary:

DeLaSalle Charter High School is a public charter high school in Kansas City, Missouri, serving 187 students in grades 9-12. The school has some notable differences from nearby schools, including a student population that is over 90% African American and an extremely high percentage (over 98%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

Academically, DeLaSalle consistently ranks among the lowest-performing high schools in Missouri, with proficiency rates on state assessments (MAP tests) that are significantly lower than the state and district averages, often less than half the state's proficiency levels. Despite relatively high spending per student, ranging from $14,777 to $18,080 per year, the school's academic outcomes remain poor, suggesting that the resources may not be effectively allocated to address the needs of the student population. In contrast, nearby schools like Ewing Marion Kauffman High and Lincoln College Prep have demonstrated that high-poverty schools can achieve much stronger academic results when they are well-resourced and effectively managed.

The unique demographic and socioeconomic composition of DeLaSalle's student body, along with its persistent low performance, suggest that the school may face significant challenges that require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to address the specific needs of its population. Addressing these issues will likely be crucial for improving the academic outcomes and opportunities for the students at DeLaSalle Charter High School.

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.
