Summary:

Community High is a public high school located in Laddonia, Missouri, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 172 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Missouri high schools over the past several years, with a 1 or 2 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in the state.

One key differentiating factor for Community High is its significantly higher percentage of white students (93-97%) compared to nearby schools, which have more racial diversity. Academically, the school struggles, with proficiency rates on MAP tests consistently lower than state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2022-2023, only 28% of 8th graders were proficient in Math, compared to the state average of 30%. Community High also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 33% to 50% over the past few years, suggesting a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Despite spending more per student ($12,774 to $13,964) than the nearby schools, such as Montgomery County High, Mexico High, and Wellsville-Middletown High School, Community High has not been able to improve its academic performance compared to the state. This raises questions about the effectiveness of the school's instructional practices and resource allocation. The school's declining performance over the past decade, from a high of 3 stars in 2016-2017 to just 1 star in recent years, is also a concerning trend.

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.
