St. Clair High

Summary:

St. Clair High is a public high school serving 684 students in grades 9-12 in Saint Clair, Missouri, which is part of the Meramec Valley R-III school district. While the school has some strengths, such as strong support for special education students, it faces challenges compared to nearby schools in terms of academic performance, student demographics, and resource allocation.

One key difference is that St. Clair High has a significantly higher percentage of white students (92.98%) compared to the nearby schools, which range from 89.06% to 97.32% white students. Additionally, the school's test scores are generally lower than state averages and the surrounding schools, with proficiency rates in Algebra I (19.5%), Biology I (28.2%), and English II (49.7%) all below state and district levels. St. Clair High also has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (48.39%) compared to the nearby schools, which range from 19.97% to 38.94%.

While St. Clair High's student-teacher ratio of 14.5 is lower than some of the larger nearby schools, such as Northwest High and Washington High School, the school's spending per student ($10,978 in 2021-2022) is lower than the nearby schools, which range from $10,182 to $14,078. This suggests that the school may face resource challenges that could impact its ability to support student learning and achievement. Overall, the data indicates that St. Clair High has room for improvement, particularly in core academic areas and in supporting its higher-need student populations.

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.
