Kee High School

Summary:

Kee High School is a small public high school in Lansing, Iowa, serving grades 9-12 and part of the Eastern Allamakee Community School District. With just 99 students, the school consistently outperforms the state average on academic assessments and maintains a very low student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools like Waukon High School.

Kee High School's academic performance is particularly impressive, with 82.1% of 10th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 73.8%. In math, 92.3% of 11th graders at Kee High School were proficient or better, significantly higher than the state average of 65.7%. The school's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 5.9 to 7.7 over recent years, allows for more individualized attention and support for students.

While Kee High School's academic achievements are commendable, it's important to consider the school's demographic makeup and potential equity concerns. The student population is predominantly White, and a significant portion (38.38%) receive free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting the presence of economically disadvantaged students. The school's higher spending per student, at $20,047 compared to $15,929 at Waukon High School, suggests the school is able to allocate resources effectively to support student learning and well-being, but it's crucial to ensure all students have access to the resources they need to succeed.

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.
