Moberly Senior High

Summary:

Moberly Senior High is a public high school in Moberly, Missouri, serving 691 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Moberly School District, which is ranked 217 out of 376 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Moberly Senior High faces several challenges, including lower academic performance compared to nearby schools like Harrisburg High, Sturgeon High, and Madison High. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments are generally lower than the state averages, and its performance for specific student subgroups, such as African American, Multi-racial, Special Education, and Low Socio-Economic Status students, is significantly below the state averages for those subgroups. Additionally, Moberly Senior High's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 176 out of 358 Missouri high schools in 2020-2021 to 225 out of 352 in 2022-2023.

Despite increased spending per student at Moberly Senior High, from $10,142 in 2018-2019 to $12,089 in 2021-2022, the school's academic performance has not shown a corresponding improvement. This suggests a need to evaluate the effectiveness of resource allocation and instructional practices to better support student learning and achievement. Additionally, the school's racial demographics have seen some changes, with a slight decrease in the percentage of White students and an increase in the percentage of students identifying as two or more races over the past few years.

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.
