Yeatman-Liddell Middle School

Summary:

Yeatman-Liddell Middle School is a public middle school in Saint Louis, Missouri, serving 284 students in grades 6-8. The school has a predominantly African American student population, with 97.54% of students identifying as African American in the 2022-2023 school year. Yeatman-Liddell is part of the St. Louis City School District, which is ranked 338 out of 376 districts in Missouri and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Yeatman-Liddell Middle School consistently ranks among the lowest-performing middle schools in Missouri, with only 2.5% to 5.4% of its students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 37.3% to 43.7%. The school's extremely high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 98.94% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, is a key factor contributing to its academic challenges. The overwhelming African American student population at Yeatman-Liddell, which is not representative of the broader community, may also contribute to the school's unique challenges and needs.

When compared to nearby schools, the challenges facing Yeatman-Liddell Middle School are not unique but rather reflective of broader systemic issues within the St. Louis City School District. Other middle schools in the district, such as Gateway Middle and Carr Lane VPA Middle, also struggle with low academic performance and high percentages of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. Nearby charter schools, such as North Side Community-Grand Center and KIPP Inspire Academy, tend to perform slightly better but still face significant challenges.

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.
