Summary:

Doniphan Middle School is a public middle school in Doniphan, Missouri, serving 361 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Doniphan R-I School District, which is ranked 158 out of 386 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Doniphan Middle School's performance is generally below the state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of 6th-grade students proficient or better in Math (34.1%) and English Language Arts (23.3%) was significantly lower than the state averages of 44.4% and 37.6%, respectively. However, the school's 8th-grade Math performance (52% proficient or better) was notably higher than the state average of 30.6%. Additionally, the school's performance for low-socioeconomic status (SES) students is a bright spot, with the school ranking in the top 15% of Missouri middle schools for this subgroup in recent years.

One area of concern for Doniphan Middle School is its consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.7% to 22.0% over the past few years, which are significantly higher than the state average. The school's performance has also fluctuated significantly over time, with its statewide ranking ranging from 222 to 471 out of Missouri middle schools, suggesting challenges in maintaining consistent academic progress and improvement.

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.
