Macon Senior High

Summary:

Macon Senior High is a public high school in Macon, Missouri, serving 438 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Macon County R-I school district, which is ranked 137 out of 386 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Macon Senior High has several strengths that set it apart. The school has maintained a strong four-year graduation rate, ranging from 90.8% to 92.4% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, Macon Senior High students have performed well on state assessments, particularly in Algebra II, where the school has consistently outperformed the state average by over 20 percentage points. However, the school serves a relatively low-income student population, with 29.91% to 32.24% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which is an important factor to consider when analyzing the school's performance.

Compared to nearby high schools, such as La Plata High and South Shelby High, Macon Senior High generally outperforms its peers in terms of graduation rates, test scores, and student-teacher ratios. However, some nearby schools, like Northeast High and Macon County High, have shown stronger performance in certain areas. Additionally, Macon Senior High has a higher chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 13.0% to 17.6% over the past few years, which is an area of concern that the school should address.

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.
