Southern Coffey County High School

Summary:

Southern Coffey County High School is a small public high school in Le Roy, Kansas, serving 47 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the LeRoy-Gridley school district, which is ranked 195 out of 269 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Southern Coffey County High School stands out for its strong academic performance, with students consistently outperforming state and district averages in mathematics and science proficiency. In 2022-2023, 58.33% of 10th-grade students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to just 21.04% statewide and 21.25% in the district. The school also has a very low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 7.4 to 7.7 over the past three years, significantly lower than the surrounding schools. However, the school's racial makeup is notably homogeneous, with 91.49% of students identifying as white in the 2022-2023 school year, in contrast to the more diverse student populations at nearby schools like Iola High School Virtual and Iola Senior High.

While Southern Coffey County High School has shown strong academic performance, its ranking has fluctuated significantly over the years, from as high as 58th out of 320 Kansas high schools in 2020-2021 to 116th out of 327 schools in 2022-2023. Additionally, the school serves a relatively high percentage of students from low-income families, with 50% to 54.55% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch over the past three school years, higher than the state average. These factors suggest that the school may face unique challenges in supporting its student population and maintaining its academic excellence.

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.
