Exeter High

Summary:

Exeter High is a public high school in Exeter, Missouri, serving 94 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Purdy R-II school district, which is ranked 322 out of 376 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Exeter High faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools. The school has a predominantly White student population (85.11%), which is higher than surrounding schools. Academically, Exeter High consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Missouri high schools, with only 27.8% of students proficient or better in Algebra I and 15.4% in Biology I. The school also has a high percentage of students (71.28%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families. Despite spending significantly more per student ($11,730 in 2021-2022) than nearby schools, Exeter High's performance has steadily declined over the past decade, from a ranking of 419 out of 504 schools in 2014-2015 to 276 out of 352 schools in 2022-2023.

While Exeter High's racial makeup is less diverse than surrounding schools, the academic performance of its White students is still below the state average, ranking 264 out of 302 Missouri high schools for this subgroup in 2022-2023. This suggests that the school's challenges extend beyond just socioeconomic factors and may require a comprehensive improvement plan to address the specific needs of its student population. Nearby schools like Monett High and Cassville High have higher rankings and better academic outcomes, providing potential models for Exeter High to learn from and 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.
