Doniphan Intermediate

Q: Is Doniphan Intermediate a good school?

Doniphan Intermediate ranks 331 st of 906 Missouri elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Doniphan Intermediate is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in Doniphan, Missouri, with 343 students. Despite having a high percentage of low-income students, the school has consistently performed well for this subgroup, ranking in the top 5-10% of Missouri elementary schools. However, the school has struggled with the performance of white and special education students, indicating an opportunity for improvement.

Doniphan Intermediate's unique demographic profile sets it apart from nearby schools. While the school's test scores are generally above the state average, particularly in mathematics, its English Language Arts performance is more mixed. The school's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, from 406 out of 908 Missouri elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 331 out of 906 in 2023-2024. This suggests the school may be losing ground compared to other elementary schools in the state. Interestingly, Neelyville R-IV and Naylor R-II, the nearby school districts, have lower statewide rankings and test scores than Doniphan R-I, the district that Doniphan Intermediate is a part of.

One area of concern for Doniphan Intermediate is its consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15% to 22% over the past few years. This is a significant issue, as chronic absenteeism can negatively impact student learning and academic performance. To address this and other areas for improvement, the school could focus on improving attendance and supporting its white and special education student populations, which could help the school maintain its strong position within the state.

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.
