Blair Oaks Intermediate

Summary:

Blair Oaks Intermediate is an elementary school serving grades 3-5 in the highly-ranked Blair Oaks R-II school district in Jefferson City, Missouri. With 255 students and a student-teacher ratio of 14.8, this school consistently outperforms the state average on academic assessments and stands out for its strong performance, homogeneous student population, and higher funding compared to nearby schools.

Blair Oaks Intermediate is a standout performer, with 69.2% of 3rd graders and 83.1% of 4th graders scoring proficient or better on state tests in math and English Language Arts, respectively - far exceeding the state averages. This high academic achievement is likely supported by the school's relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (10.98%) compared to the higher rates in the Jefferson City schools (ranging from 43.83% to 99.04%). Additionally, the Blair Oaks R-II district spends $13,741 per student at Blair Oaks Intermediate, which is higher than the spending at most of the nearby Jefferson City schools.

While Blair Oaks Intermediate's academic performance is impressive, the school's student population is significantly less diverse than the surrounding area, with 94.9% of students identifying as white. This racial homogeneity is in contrast to the more diverse student populations of the nearby West Elementary, Clarence Lawson Elementary, and other Jefferson City schools. As the district and community continue to evolve, it will be important to consider ways to promote greater diversity and equity in educational opportunities across all schools.

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.

Students eligible for free or discounted lunch at Blair Oaks Intermediate

Compare

Year	# Students	Full-time Teachers	Student/Teacher ratio	% Free/Discounted Lunch

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education.

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.
