John A. Evans Middle

Summary:

John A. Evans Middle is a public middle school in Potosi, Missouri, serving 310 students in grades 7-8. The school is part of the Potosi R-III school district, which is ranked 54 out of 376 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

John A. Evans Middle stands out for its consistently high academic performance, ranking in the top 25% of Missouri middle schools over the past several years. The school is particularly noteworthy for the strong performance of its economically disadvantaged students, who rank in the top 5 in the state. However, the school's ranking for special education students is in the bottom quarter of Missouri middle schools, indicating an area for improvement. Compared to nearby schools like Desoto Junior High and Central Middle, John A. Evans Middle generally outperforms them on state assessments, especially in mathematics and English language arts.

Another interesting factor is the school's demographics, with a significantly higher percentage of white students (96.45%) compared to the state average and nearby schools. Despite this, John A. Evans Middle has an extremely high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 99.12% to 100%. This indicates the school is effectively serving a high-need population. The school's funding, which is on par with or slightly higher than nearby schools, and its relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.9 to 13.8, may also contribute to its academic success.

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.
