Summary:

La Monte High is a public high school located in La Monte, Missouri, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 129 students. The school is part of the La Monte R-IV school district, and based on the data provided, it has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Missouri high schools over the past decade, with a current ranking of 323 out of 352 high schools in the state and a 0 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

La Monte High's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is significantly below the state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 35% of 7th graders were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 40.6%. Similarly, the school's proficiency rates in Science, English Language Arts, and End-of-Course exams like Algebra I, Biology I, and English II are all well below the state averages. However, the school has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 93.3% to 96.0% over the past few years, which is a positive metric that sets it apart from some of the nearby districts, such as Henry County R-I, which have lower graduation rates. On the other hand, La Monte High has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 11.7% to 20.4% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and indicates a potential issue with student engagement and attendance.

When comparing La Monte High to the nearby schools, it becomes evident that the school is performing significantly worse than its counterparts. For example, Warrensburg High, located just 15.87 miles away, has a much higher state ranking (96 out of 352) and better academic performance across multiple subjects and grade levels. While La Monte High's overall performance is poor, there are some areas where the school performs better relative to the state average, such as the 7th-grade Mathematics proficiency rate of 35%, which is closer to the state average of 40.6%, compared to the larger gaps in other subject areas and grade levels.

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.
