Green Ridge High

Summary:

Green Ridge High is a public high school located in Green Ridge, Missouri, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 181 students. Despite maintaining a consistently high 100% four-year graduation rate, the school has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking over the past decade, dropping from 23rd out of 522 Missouri high schools in 2011-2012 to 304th out of 352 in the most recent 2022-2023 school year.

One of the key metrics that differentiates Green Ridge High is its chronic absenteeism rate, which has steadily increased from 9.8% in 2023-2024 to 15.2% in 2021-2022, higher than the state average and the rates of most nearby schools like Smithton High and Northwest High. Additionally, while the school's test scores in 7th grade mathematics and 8th grade science are generally higher than the state averages, its performance in Algebra I and Biology I End-of-Course exams is significantly lower.

Another interesting finding is the relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Green Ridge High, ranging from 25.16% to 48.33% over the past few years, which is higher than the rates of some nearby schools like Cole Camp High and Lincoln High. This suggests that the school may be serving a more economically disadvantaged population, which could be a contributing factor to its overall performance challenges.

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.
