Rock Hills Junior/Senior High School

Summary:

Rock Hills Junior/Senior High School is a public school located in Mankato, Kansas, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 186 students. The school is part of the Rock Hills District, which is ranked 173 out of 266 districts in Kansas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rock Hills Junior/Senior High School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from a high of 16th out of 326 Kansas high schools in 2014-2015 to a low of 203rd out of 318 in the current 2023-2024 school year. The school's performance on state assessments (KAP) is generally below the state average, with lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across various grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 10th-grade proficiency rate in English Language Arts was 17.38%, compared to the state average of 27.57%. The school also has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 54.3% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year.

While the Rock Hills Junior/Senior High School has higher per-student spending and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, these resources do not appear to be translating into consistently strong academic outcomes. The school's performance for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds and for male and white students has been mixed, raising questions about equity and the school's ability to provide equal educational opportunities for all students. Further investigation into the factors contributing to the school's performance and the effectiveness of its resource allocation would be beneficial to identify areas for improvement and develop targeted strategies to support student success.

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.
