Westran Middle

Summary:

Westran Middle School is a public middle school located in Clifton Hill, Missouri, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 134 students. The school is part of the Westran R-I School District, which is ranked 202 out of 376 districts in Missouri and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Westran Middle has consistently outperformed the state average in several key academic areas, including mathematics proficiency for 6th grade, science proficiency for 8th grade, and English Language Arts proficiency for 8th grade. However, the school's performance has been inconsistent over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 103 out of 454 middle schools in 2020-2021 to 220 out of 459 middle schools in 2022-2023. Compared to the nearby Moberly Middle and Higbee Middle School, Westran Middle has a significantly higher percentage of white students and a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting it serves a more homogeneous and economically disadvantaged student population.

Westran Middle's higher spending per student ($13,550 in 2021-2022) and lower student-teacher ratio (9.5 in 2022-2023) compared to the nearby Moberly and Higbee R-VIII districts may contribute to the school's stronger academic performance. However, the school's inconsistent performance and the need to address the needs of specific student subgroups suggest that there may be opportunities for further improvement and refinement of the school's educational strategies and practices.

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.
