Paris Junior High

Summary:

Paris Junior High is a public middle school in Paris, Missouri, serving 68 students in grades 7-8. The school is part of the Paris R-II School District, which is ranked 283 out of 376 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Compared to nearby middle schools like Monroe City Middle, Chester Boren Middle, and South Shelby Middle School, Paris Junior High has a significantly higher percentage of white students (95.59%) and lower academic performance on standardized tests. The school also has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (36.76%) and a higher spending per student ($11,648) than the nearby schools.

Despite the higher spending, Paris Junior High's academic performance has declined over the years, from a high ranking of 107 out of 649 Missouri middle schools in 2012-2013 to a low of 404 out of 454 in 2020-2021. This trend suggests the need for interventions to improve student outcomes, and the school's racial homogeneity and socioeconomic challenges may be contributing factors that require further exploration and support.

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.
