Clark County High

Summary:

Clark County High School is a public high school in Kahoka, Missouri, serving 308 students in grades 9-12. The school's racial makeup is predominantly White, with 96.43% of students identifying as such in the current school year.

Clark County High School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the years, ranging from a high of 80th out of 401 Missouri high schools in 2015-2016 to a low of 369th out of 522 in 2011-2012. The school's current ranking for the 2022-2023 school year is 166th out of 352 Missouri high schools, with a 3-star rating. While the school's overall performance has been mixed, its disabled student population has performed relatively better, ranking 63rd out of 129 Missouri high schools in 2020-2021 with a 3-star rating. However, the school's White students and low socioeconomic status (SES) students have consistently ranked lower than the overall school ranking.

Clark County High School's academic performance has also been variable, with its Algebra I proficiency rate slightly above the state average in 2022-2023, but its Biology I proficiency rate below the state average. The school's per-student spending has increased by 16% over the past few years, and the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch has also risen, from 41.53% in 2020-2021 to 46.43% in the current school year. These factors suggest that the school may need to focus on targeted interventions and support programs to address the needs of its diverse student population and ensure more consistent academic achievement across subject areas.

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.
