Black Hawk Middle

Summary:

Black Hawk Middle is a public middle school in Warrenton, Missouri, serving 698 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Warren County R-III School District, which is ranked 193 out of 376 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Black Hawk Middle has a significantly higher percentage of white students (82.23%) compared to the state average, its academic performance is concerning. The school's proficiency rates on MAP tests are generally below state averages, and it ranks in the bottom quartile of Missouri middle schools for African American, Hispanic, special education, and gifted and talented students. Additionally, 43.27% of Black Hawk Middle's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

When compared to nearby middle schools like Frontier Middle, Washington Middle, and Wentzville South Middle, Black Hawk Middle significantly underperforms in academic measures such as MAP test proficiency rates and statewide rankings. These nearby schools have higher percentages of students meeting proficiency standards and are ranked much higher in the state. The school's declining performance over the past decade and the significant achievement gaps observed for certain student subgroups suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to address these 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.
