Doniphan High has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 207 out of 378 Missouri high schools in 2023-2024 to as low as 415 out of 504 in 2014-2015. The school's graduation rates have been relatively high, ranging from 80.7% in 2021-2022 to 90.6% in 2022-2023, which are higher than the nearby Neelyville High (86.4% in 2023-2024) and Naylor High School (90.6% in 2023-2024).

Doniphan High's test scores in MAP/End of Course exams have been mixed, with some areas performing above the state average and others below. The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 99.3% to 99.37% in recent years, is significantly higher than the nearby schools, which may be a contributing factor to its overall performance. Compared to the nearby schools, Doniphan High appears to be performing better in several key metrics, such as graduation rates and test scores, but the high chronic absenteeism rate is a concern that the school may need to address.

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.
