Chaffee Junior-Senior High

Summary:

Chaffee Junior-Senior High is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in Chaffee, Missouri, with around 300 students. The school is part of the Chaffee R-II School District, which is ranked 294 out of 386 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Chaffee Junior-Senior High consistently underperforms the state average on standardized tests across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 18.9% of 7th graders were proficient or better in Math, compared to the state average of 40.6%. The school's performance on Algebra I, Biology I, and English II end-of-course exams also lags behind the state averages. Additionally, the school has a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 86.5% to 92% in recent years, but also a high dropout rate, reaching 5.1% in 2021-2022. Chaffee Junior-Senior High also has a significant chronic absenteeism problem, with rates ranging from 19.9% to 33.2% in recent years, much higher than the state average. These challenges are likely exacerbated by the school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 52% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023.

When compared to nearby high schools, such as Jackson Senior High, Bell City High, and Thomas W. Kelly High, Chaffee Junior-Senior High consistently underperforms on academic measures. For example, Jackson Senior High, which is 13.52 miles away, has significantly higher proficiency rates on end-of-course exams and a much lower chronic absenteeism rate. Additionally, Chaffee Junior-Senior High's performance has fluctuated over the years, with the school ranking as high as 82 out of 404 Missouri high schools in 2016-2017 (4-star rating) and as low as 329 out of 460 in 2018-2019 (1-star rating), suggesting challenges in maintaining consistent academic progress.

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.
