East Newton High

Q: Is East Newton High a good school?

East Newton High ranks 191 st of 352 Missouri high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

East Newton High School is a public high school serving 431 students in grades 9-12 in the East Newton County R-VI school district in Granby, Missouri. The school has a predominantly White student population (78.65%), with smaller percentages of Asian, Native American, Hispanic, and other racial groups.

East Newton High consistently ranks in the top half of Missouri high schools, outperforming the state average in several key subject areas like Algebra I and English II. However, the school lags behind the state average in Biology I proficiency. With over 50% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, East Newton High serves a higher proportion of low-income families compared to the state. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.3, which may contribute to more personalized attention for students. Compared to nearby schools like Purdy High and Wheaton High, East Newton High generally outperforms them in academic metrics, but lags behind Monett High and Sarcoxie High in some areas.

While East Newton High is a solid-performing school that provides a quality education to its diverse student population, there may be opportunities for improvement in certain subject areas, such as Biology I proficiency. The school's strong performance for low-income and disabled students, as well as its above-average test scores in several subjects, are notable strengths. However, the variability in the school's statewide ranking suggests its academic performance may be influenced by factors beyond just test scores.

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.
