Atlanta High

Summary:

Atlanta High is a public high school serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 97 students in Atlanta, Missouri, a small town in the north-central part of the state. The school is part of the Atlanta C-3 school district, which is ranked 292 out of 376 districts in Missouri and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Atlanta High has a significantly higher percentage of white students (97.94%) compared to nearby schools, its academic performance lags behind state averages. The school's test scores on the MAP/Algebra I and MAP/Biology I End of Course exams are consistently lower than the state, with only 35.4% of students proficient or better in Algebra I and 10.5% in Biology I, compared to state averages of 41.5% and 38.5%, respectively. Additionally, Atlanta High has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 38.14% to 43.75% over the past few years, higher than nearby schools like Macon Senior High (29.91%) and Adair County High (31.82%).

Despite spending more per student than the state average, ranging from $11,826 to $13,688 per student, Atlanta High's statewide ranking has been steadily declining over the past decade, from a high of 205 out of 468 Missouri high schools in 2017-2018 to a low of 262 out of 352 in 2022-2023. This suggests the school is struggling to keep up with the performance of other high schools in the state, even as it maintains a lower student-teacher ratio (8.2 in 2022-2023) compared to nearby schools like Macon Senior High, which is only 10.3 miles away and has significantly higher test scores and a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

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.
