Gotsch Intermediate School

Summary:

Gotsch Intermediate School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in the Affton 101 School District in Saint Louis, Missouri, with a student population of 553 as of the 2022-2023 school year.

Gotsch Intermediate School faces several challenges, including lower academic performance compared to state and district averages, a declining statewide ranking, and growing socioeconomic and racial disparities among its student population. The school's proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts are below the state averages, and its statewide ranking has dropped from 251 out of 1,089 schools in 2013-2014 to 435 out of 898 schools in 2022-2023. Additionally, the school's African American and White student subgroups have consistently ranked in the bottom half of Missouri elementary schools, while the multi-racial student subgroup has performed better.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Clark Elementary in Webster Groves and Sappington Elementary in Lindbergh Schools, Gotsch Intermediate School's performance lags behind, with significantly higher proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts. The increasing percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Gotsch Intermediate School, from 23.56% in 2021-2022 to 31.83% in 2022-2023, may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance.

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.
