Louisiana High

Summary:

Louisiana High is a public high school serving 226 students in grades 9-12 in Louisiana, Missouri, which is part of the Louisiana R-II School District. The school faces several challenges, including declining academic performance, a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students, and achievement gaps among its diverse student population.

While Clopton High and Bowling Green High have student populations that are predominantly White, Louisiana High has a more diverse student body, with higher percentages of African American and Hispanic students. However, the academic performance of Louisiana High's minority students is an area of concern, as they lag behind their White peers on state assessments.

Louisiana High's per-student spending has increased in recent years, and the school maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, suggesting that the district is investing resources in the school. However, these investments do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes, as the school's statewide ranking has dropped from 122 out of 460 in 2018-2019 to 210 out of 352 in 2022-2023. Addressing the specific challenges and needs of the school, as well as implementing evidence-based strategies to support student learning and achievement, could be crucial in turning around the school's performance and better serving its diverse 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.
