Scotland County High

Summary:

Scotland County High is a public high school in Memphis, Missouri, serving 236 students in grades 7-12. The school is part of the Scotland County R-I school district, which is ranked 248 out of 386 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Scotland County High has maintained an impressive 100% four-year graduation rate, significantly higher than the state average. However, the school has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.8% to 23.2% in recent years, which is notably higher than the state average. Academically, the school's test scores on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) are generally below the state averages across various subjects and grade levels, though its performance on Biology I and Algebra I End of Course exams has been more mixed. The school serves a high proportion of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with free and reduced-lunch rates ranging from 42.28% to 53.47% in recent years.

While Scotland County High's performance has been somewhat inconsistent, with its SchoolDigger ranking and star rating ranging from 2 to 4 stars, the school has maintained a relatively low student-teacher ratio, which could be a positive factor. The school's below-average test scores in core subjects like Mathematics and English Language Arts present opportunities for improvement, particularly in the earlier grade levels. Addressing these academic gaps could help the school better prepare its students for success, while building on the school's positive attributes, such as its high graduation rate.

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.
