Delta C-7 High

Summary:

Delta C-7 High is a public high school located in Deering, Missouri, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 85 students. The school is part of the Delta C-7 District, which is ranked 376 out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Delta C-7 High has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking over the years, dropping from a high of 30th out of 504 Missouri high schools in 2014-2015 (with a 5-star rating) to its current ranking of 349th out of 378 high schools in 2023-2024 (with a 0-star rating). The school consistently underperforms the state average in standardized test scores across various subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts significantly lower than the state averages. While Delta C-7 High has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, the school has also experienced high levels of chronic absenteeism, reaching as high as 29.2% in 2023-2024.

Comparing Delta C-7 High to nearby schools, such as Holcomb High, Senath-Hornersville High School, and North Pemiscot Senior High, highlights the challenges the school faces. These nearby schools also struggle with low performance and high levels of poverty, but they generally outperform Delta C-7 High in terms of statewide rankings, test scores, and graduation rates. The high levels of poverty and chronic absenteeism at Delta C-7 High may be contributing to the school's academic challenges, and the school's relatively small size and limited resources may also be hindering its ability to provide comprehensive educational programs and support services to its 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.
