Senn-Thomas Middle

Summary:

Senn-Thomas Middle is a public middle school located in Herculaneum, Missouri, serving grades 6-8 with a student population of 362. The school is part of the Dunklin R-V School District, which is ranked 145 out of 376 districts in Missouri and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Senn-Thomas Middle faces some challenges in academic performance, particularly in Mathematics, compared to nearby schools like Fox Middle and Hillsboro Junior High. In 2022-2023, the percentage of 8th-grade students proficient or better in Mathematics was 26.2% at Senn-Thomas Middle, compared to 29.3% at Fox Middle and 11.4% at Hillsboro Junior High. However, the school appears to be making efforts to support special education and low socioeconomic status students, ranking 57th out of 192 Missouri middle schools for special education students and 200th out of 382 for low socioeconomic status students.

Another area of concern is the school's predominantly white student population, with 88.12% of students identifying as white in the 2022-2023 school year. This is significantly higher than the nearby schools, such as Ridgewood Middle (82.63%) and Hillsboro Junior High (95.04%), indicating a potential lack of diversity in the school and the surrounding Dunklin R-V School District community.

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.
