Seckman Senior High

Summary:

Seckman Senior High is a public high school located in Imperial, Missouri, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,793 students. The school is part of the Fox C-6 School District, which is ranked 52 out of 376 districts in Missouri and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Seckman Senior High has a significantly higher percentage of white students (88.46%) compared to the surrounding schools, its academic performance is generally lower than the state and district averages, particularly in subjects like Algebra I, Biology I, and Government. The school also has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (17.51%) and a slightly higher student-teacher ratio (18.2) compared to nearby schools like Fox Senior High, Lindbergh Senior High, and Northwest High.

Seckman Senior High's performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating over the years. The school's lower spending per student ($8,910 in 2021-2022) compared to the state and district averages may contribute to the academic challenges faced by its students. Additionally, the school's relatively homogeneous racial makeup and lower performance among certain subgroups, such as white students and low-socioeconomic status students, suggest the need for strategies to address achievement gaps and enhance the overall educational experience for all students.

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.
