The school has also experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 4.7% to 19.6% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Grandview Middle serves a higher proportion of low-socioeconomic status students, with 41.14% to 46.2% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch over the past few years.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Seckman Middle, Senn-Thomas Middle, and Antonia Middle School, Grandview Middle generally underperforms in terms of academic performance, chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic status of the student population. The low ranking and 1-star rating of the Grandview R-II District suggest that there may be broader systemic challenges within the district that are impacting the performance of Grandview Middle and other schools in the district.

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.
