Summary:

Crane High is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in Crane, Missouri, with a total enrollment of 245 students. The school is part of the Crane R-III School District, which is ranked 170 out of 386 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Crane High has consistently maintained a high four-year graduation rate, reaching 100% in the 2023-2024 school year, which is significantly higher than nearby schools like Spokane High (91.5%), Verona High (88.2%), and Clever High (100%). However, Crane High has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 17.3% to 21.5% in recent years, which is higher than the nearby schools. Additionally, Crane High's test scores, as measured by the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP), are generally lower than the state averages and the nearby schools, with proficiency rates in Algebra I (27.8%) and Biology I (39.3%) below the state averages of 41.5% and 37.4%, respectively.

Crane High's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the years, from 176 out of 378 Missouri high schools in 2023-2024 to as low as 474 out of 521 in 2013-2014, suggesting a need for the school to address its academic performance and identify areas for improvement. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 42.86% to 53.31% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years, which may contribute to the school's academic challenges. While Crane High's performance is generally lower than the state averages, it is not the lowest-performing school in the surrounding area, as schools like Verona High and Billings Senior High have even lower statewide rankings and test scores, providing opportunities for Crane High to learn from and collaborate with these schools to improve its own performance.

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.
