McCluer North High consistently ranks in the bottom third of Missouri high schools, with a ranking between 330-338 out of 352-378 schools in recent years. The school's performance on state assessments (MAP tests) is significantly below the state and district averages across all subject areas, with proficiency rates ranging from 8.3% to 30% in recent years. For example, in 2022-2023, only 8.3% of students were proficient in MAP Government, compared to the district average of 11.5% and the state average of 39.3%. Additionally, the school has a very high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 38.7% to 54.2% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average. The school also has an extremely high percentage of students (over 99%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a very low socioeconomic status of the student population.

Within the Ferguson-Florissant R-II district, McCluer High performs similarly to McCluer North High, also ranking in the bottom third of Missouri high schools. In contrast, the Steam Academy at MSB High School, another district school, consistently ranks in the top 15% of Missouri high schools and outperforms McCluer North High across various metrics, including test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism. The significant differences in performance between McCluer North High and the higher-performing Steam Academy at MSB High School suggest that factors beyond just socioeconomic status, such as school leadership, curriculum, and instructional practices, may play a role in student outcomes.

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.
