El Dorado Springs High

Summary:

El Dorado Springs High is a public high school serving 348 students in grades 9-12 in El Dorado Springs, Missouri, which is part of the El Dorado Springs R-II School District. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Missouri high schools and has a low 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating significant academic challenges.

El Dorado Springs High has struggled to meet academic benchmarks, particularly for its white and economically disadvantaged student populations. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments in core subjects like Algebra, Biology, and English lag well behind the state averages. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate and a slightly lower-than-average graduation rate. Nearby schools like Nevada High and Stockton High have outperformed El Dorado Springs High on various metrics, suggesting the school could benefit from learning from their practices and strategies.

The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at El Dorado Springs High, ranging from 23.61% to 42.86% in recent years, may be a contributing factor to the school's academic challenges. While the school's per-student spending and student-teacher ratio are relatively consistent with nearby schools, addressing the socioeconomic needs of its student population could be a key priority for the school and district in order to improve overall academic outcomes.

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.
