Paris High

Summary:

Paris High is a public high school located in Paris, Missouri, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 135 students. The school is part of the Paris R-II School District, which is ranked 283 out of 376 districts in Missouri and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Paris High has several key metrics that differentiate it from surrounding schools. The school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (91.85%) compared to nearby schools like Monroe City R-I High and Centralia High, which have more diverse student populations. Academically, Paris High's performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in MAP/End of Course exams, is consistently lower than the state and district averages. For example, in 2022-2023, only 24% of Paris High students were proficient or better in Algebra I, compared to the state average of 41.5%. Additionally, Paris High's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 294 out of 352 high schools in 2022-2023 (1 star) to a high of 5 out of 401 high schools in 2015-2016 (5 stars), with an overall trend of declining ranking and rating.

Despite the school's academic challenges, Paris High spends a relatively high amount per student, with spending ranging from $11,554 to $15,134 per student over the past few years. This raises questions about the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and the need for a closer examination of how funds are being utilized to support student learning. When compared to nearby schools like Monroe City R-I High and Centralia High, Paris High performs significantly worse academically, has a lower school ranking, and serves a higher percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, suggesting that the school may face unique challenges that require targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.

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.
