Hermann High

Summary:

Hermann High is a public high school located in Hermann, Missouri, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 323 students. The school is part of the Gasconade County R-I school district, which is ranked 208 out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Hermann High has maintained a strong four-year graduation rate, ranging from 94.2% to 97.4% over the past few years, the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 43rd out of 460 Missouri high schools in 2018-2019 to 165th out of 378 in 2023-2024. The school's performance on state assessments is mixed, with significantly lower proficiency rates in Algebra I compared to the state and district averages, but generally higher proficiency rates in Biology I. Additionally, the school's performance for gifted and talented students is concerning, ranking 43rd out of 45 Missouri high schools in 2021-2022.

The relatively high chronic absenteeism rate at Hermann High, ranging from 12.1% to 14.5% in recent years, is an area of concern that may be impacting the school's overall academic performance. While the school's per-student spending and student-teacher ratio are comparable to nearby schools, such as Chamois High and Montgomery County High, the school's academic performance on state assessments is mixed compared to the state and district averages, suggesting the need for targeted strategies to improve 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.

Open Quote For being a rural school the teachers are great. Also the Band and Athletic programs are First Rate. They could use a little more support in the Drama department, and as always more parental support. Close Quote

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.
