Hamilton High

Summary:

Hamilton High is a public high school in Hamilton, Kansas, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 53 students. The school is part of the Southern Lyon County school district, which is ranked 269 out of 269 districts in Kansas and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Hamilton High stands out from the nearby schools, such as Olpe Junior/Senior High School, Eureka Junior/Senior High, and Madison High, in several key ways. The school has a significantly higher percentage of white students at 96.23%, compared to the more diverse student populations at the nearby schools. Additionally, Hamilton High's academic performance is significantly lower than the state and nearby school averages, with 0% proficiency in English Language Arts and Mathematics for 10th grade, compared to the state averages of 26.74% and 21.04%, respectively.

Hamilton High also faces socioeconomic challenges, with 62.26% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools. Despite the higher spending per student at $18,753, the school's academic performance is still significantly lower than the state and nearby school averages, suggesting that the school may not be effectively utilizing its resources to support student learning and achievement. These factors, combined with the school's declining academic performance over the past few years, indicate that Hamilton High may need to implement significant changes to improve student outcomes and provide a more equitable and effective educational experience for 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.
