Skyline Middle

Summary:

Skyline Middle School is a public middle school in Urbana, Missouri, serving 206 students in grades 5-8. The school is part of the Hickory County R-I school district, which is ranked 15th out of 376 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Skyline Middle consistently outperforms the state average on Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests, with 6th-grade math proficiency at 59.1% compared to the state average of 43.7%. The school has ranked among the top 60 middle schools in Missouri for several years, particularly for its strong performance among low-socioeconomic status (SES) students. However, Skyline Middle has a predominantly white student population, with over 95% of students identifying as white, which is significantly different from the state average. The school's spending per student has increased to $7,450, higher than the state average, and it maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.3 to 14.6 students per teacher.

In comparison, Hermitage Middle School, located approximately 7 miles from Skyline Middle, has significantly lower academic performance and a higher percentage of low-SES students. This highlights the disparities in educational opportunities and resources between schools in the region, which may be influenced by factors such as socioeconomic status, funding, and community support.

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.
