Compton-Drew ILC Middle

Summary:

Compton-Drew ILC Middle is a public middle school in Saint Louis, Missouri, serving 409 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the St. Louis City school district, which is ranked 338 out of 376 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Compton-Drew ILC Middle faces significant challenges, including a student population that is 86.31% African American, far higher than the surrounding schools, which range from 15.91% to 98.82% African American. The school consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Missouri middle schools, with academic performance on state assessments (MAP tests) significantly lower than state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. Despite a relatively high per-student spending ranging from $12,293 to $14,720 over the past 4 years and a low student-teacher ratio of 10.3 to 15.9 over the past 3 years, the school has struggled to improve its outcomes.

In contrast, nearby schools like Wydown Middle and Gateway Science Academy Middle demonstrate that high-performing middle schools are possible in the St. Louis area, even in urban settings. This highlights the need to understand and address the specific challenges faced by Compton-Drew ILC Middle, which serves a community with a high level of economic disadvantage, as evidenced by the school's extremely high percentage (over 99%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

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.
