Doniphan Middle

Summary:

Doniphan Middle School is a public middle school in Doniphan, Missouri, serving 361 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Doniphan R-I School District, which is ranked 203 out of 376 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Doniphan Middle School's performance on state assessments is generally below the Missouri average in both mathematics and English language arts (ELA). In 2022-2023, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 29.6% in 6th grade ELA to 46.1% in 8th grade mathematics, compared to state averages of 37.5% and 42.7%, respectively. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with some improvements in 8th grade mathematics but declines in other areas. Additionally, the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 99% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite the academic challenges, Doniphan Middle School has shown some strengths, particularly in the performance of its low-socioeconomic status students, which ranks in the top 10% of Missouri middle schools in this category. However, the school's performance for white students and students with disabilities is significantly below the state average, ranking in the bottom quartile of Missouri middle schools. The decrease in per-student spending over the past few years, coupled with the high percentage of low-income students, suggests that the school may be facing resource constraints that could be impacting its ability to provide a high-quality education.

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.
