Ritenour Senior High

Summary:

Ritenour Senior High is a public high school located in Saint Louis, Missouri, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,873 students. The school is part of the Ritenour School District, which is ranked 321 out of 376 districts in Missouri and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ritenour Senior High consistently ranks in the bottom half of Missouri high schools, with a ranking between 279-295 out of 352-361 schools in recent years. The school's performance on state assessments (MAP tests) is significantly below the state average across all subject areas, with proficiency rates ranging from 14% to 36.3% compared to the state averages of 38.5% to 54.4%. Ritenour Senior High's performance is particularly low for subgroups such as African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students, with rankings in the bottom half or bottom third of Missouri high schools for these groups. The school has an extremely high percentage of students (over 99%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, and its spending per student, ranging from $9,871 to $11,538 in recent years, is lower than the state average.

While Ritenour Senior High's overall performance is low, the school's rankings for specific student subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students, are somewhat better, suggesting that the school may be doing a relatively better job of serving these populations compared to the state average. However, the school's performance for English Language Learners and students with disabilities is still among the lowest in the state. Ritenour Senior High's academic challenges are in stark contrast to the higher-performing nearby schools, such as Ladue Horton Watkins High and Clayton High, which consistently rank among the top schools in Missouri.

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.
