Galena High

Summary:

Galena High is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in Galena, Missouri, with a total enrollment of 222 students. The school is part of the Galena R-II School District, which is ranked 325 out of 376 districts in Missouri and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Galena High stands out for several key factors. The school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (90.99%) compared to the state average and nearby schools, indicating a lack of diversity. Academically, Galena High consistently underperforms the state and nearby schools, such as Marionville High, Clever High, and Branson High, on standardized test scores across various subjects and grade levels. Additionally, Galena High has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 41.67% to 69.82% over the past few years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite these challenges, Galena High has not shown significant improvement in its academic metrics or school ranking over the past decade, ranking between 272 and 452 out of 460-523 Missouri high schools. This suggests that the school may face unique obstacles in providing a quality education to its students, and a more comprehensive approach may be needed to address the underlying issues and drive academic progress. The school's low district ranking and per-student spending levels also indicate that it may face resource constraints that could impact its ability to offer a high-quality educational experience.

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.
