St. Clair High

Summary:

St. Clair High is a public high school in Saint Clair, Missouri, serving 684 students in grades 9-12 and part of the St. Clair R-XIII school district, which is ranked 238 out of 386 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While St. Clair High has seen a decline in its 4-year graduation rates, dropping from 94.0% in 2021-2022 to 83.8% in 2023-2024, this is lower than the state average and nearby schools like Washington High School (92.7%) and Union High (85.0%). Additionally, the school's test scores are consistently below the state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels, with only 31.9% of students proficient or better in Algebra I, compared to the state average of 41.5% and the district average of 37%. St. Clair High also has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 20.7% to 25.9% in recent years, significantly higher than nearby schools like Grandview High (4.7%) and Northwest High (19.7%).

While the school ranks well for special education and low-income students, it ranks poorly for white students, indicating potential achievement gaps. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending (around $10,900 in recent years), its academic outcomes have not kept pace with the state and district averages, suggesting that the allocation of resources may need to be re-evaluated. Overall, St. Clair High faces several challenges, including declining performance, underperformance compared to nearby schools, and potential achievement gaps for certain student subgroups, which the school's leadership and the St. Clair R-XIII district may need to address.

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.
