Clark County High

Summary:

Clark County High is a public high school located in Kahoka, Missouri, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 308 students. The school is part of the Clark County R-I District, which is ranked 229 out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Over the years, Clark County High has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from a high of 80th out of 401 Missouri high schools in 2015-2016 (4-star rating) to a low of 369th out of 522 in 2011-2012 (1-star rating). In the most recent school year (2023-2024), the school ranked 190th out of 378 Missouri high schools, with a 3-star rating. The school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as white students and low-socioeconomic status (SES) students, is also concerning, with these groups ranking in the bottom half of Missouri high schools. However, the school's performance for disabled students is relatively better, ranking 63rd out of 129 Missouri high schools in 2020-2021 with a 3-star rating.

While Clark County High has maintained a strong four-year graduation rate, ranging from 95.7% to 96.9% over the past few years, the school has seen a gradual increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 16.9% in 2021-2022 to 18.4% in 2023-2024. Academically, the school has struggled compared to the state average on End of Course (EOC) exams in Algebra I, Biology I, and English II. The school's per-student spending has increased over the years, from $9,822 in 2018-2019 to $11,393 in 2021-2022, but the academic performance still lags behind the state average, raising questions about the effectiveness of resource allocation.

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.
