Cedar Ridge Intermediate

Summary:

Cedar Ridge Intermediate is a public middle school serving grades 4-6 in the Branson R-IV school district, with a diverse student population of 498 and a high rate of economically disadvantaged students.

While Cedar Ridge Intermediate has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.7, its test scores are generally lower than the Branson R-IV district and state averages. For example, in 2022-2023, the school's 4th grade math proficiency was 49.7% compared to the district's 53.6% and the state's 43.8%. The school's diverse student population, with 64.66% White, 20.88% Hispanic, and smaller percentages of other races, stands out compared to the nearby Buchanan Intermediate and Branson Junior High, which have higher percentages of White students.

The high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at Cedar Ridge Intermediate (60.64%) suggests that the school serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which may contribute to the lower test scores and require additional support and resources. Analyzing the practices and strategies of higher-performing nearby schools, such as Buchanan Intermediate, and providing targeted support for economically disadvantaged students may be areas for Cedar Ridge Intermediate to focus on to drive improvement.

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.
