Summary:

Douglass High is a public high school located in Douglass, Kansas, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 213 students. The school is part of the Douglass Public Schools district, which is ranked 53 out of 266 districts in Kansas and is rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Douglass High has shown a fluctuating performance in its statewide ranking over the years, ranging from 67th out of 318 Kansas high schools in 2023-2024 to 226th out of 320 in 2020-2021. The school's performance on state assessments (KAP) is generally above the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across different grade levels, with a particularly strong showing in Science, where 40% of students were proficient or better in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 32.28%. However, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with White students performing well but Special Education students struggling.

Douglass High generally outperforms the nearby Belle Plaine High and Bluestem Junior/Senior High in academic performance, ranking higher in the state. However, the school lags behind the highly-ranked Andover High and Andover Central High School, which are among the top-performing schools in the state. Douglass High's moderate free and reduced-price lunch rates suggest a mix of socio-economic backgrounds among its student population, and the school's relatively higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio compared to the state average may indicate a focus on providing additional resources and support to its students.

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.
