Lockwood High

Q: Is Lockwood High a good school?

Lockwood High ranks 263 rd of 352 Missouri high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 1 star out of 5.

Summary:

Lockwood High is a small public high school in Lockwood, Missouri, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of just 97 as of the 2022-2023 school year. Despite its relatively high per-student spending, the school has consistently underperformed compared to the state and nearby schools, ranking in the bottom half of Missouri high schools and maintaining a 1-star or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lockwood High's academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates on key state exams like MAP/Algebra I and MAP/Biology I well below the state average. The school's student population is also overwhelmingly White, at over 95%, in contrast to the more diverse nearby schools like Jasper County High School and Lamar High. Additionally, Lockwood High serves a high proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 42.55% to 50.52% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years.

The school's declining statewide ranking, from a high of 116 out of 522 Missouri high schools in 2011-2012 to its current ranking of 263 out of 352 schools, suggests a relative decline in performance compared to other schools in the state. This raises questions about the efficient allocation of the school's relatively high per-student spending and the need for Lockwood High to explore strategies to better support the academic needs of its student population, particularly those from low-socioeconomic backgrounds and the school's predominant White student population.

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.
