Q: Is Miami-Yoder Middle/High School a good school?

Miami-Yoder Middle/High School ranks 216 th of 349 Colorado high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Miami-Yoder Middle/High School is a public school serving 179 students in grades 6-12 in Rush, Colorado, which is part of the Ellicott School District No. 22. The school has a higher percentage of Hispanic students compared to nearby schools like Calhan Secondary School and Ellicott Senior High School, which have a majority white student population.

Miami-Yoder's test scores are generally lower than state and nearby school averages, with proficiency rates in CMAS English Language Arts (18.8%) and CMAS Math (14.8%) significantly below the state averages. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Colorado high schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, lower than the nearby Calhan Secondary School which has a 3-star rating. Miami-Yoder also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 43.58% to 53.57% over the past three school years, and a higher student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools.

While Miami-Yoder Middle/High School shares some similarities with nearby schools, it generally underperforms in terms of test scores and statewide rankings. The school's small size of 179 students may present both advantages and challenges, and the district's overall low ranking suggests that systemic factors may also be at play. Addressing these issues could be crucial for improving the educational outcomes and opportunities for the students at Miami-Yoder Middle/High School.

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.
