North High

Summary:

North High is a public high school located in Saint Louis, Missouri, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,074 students. It is part of the Parkway C-2 School District, which is ranked 32 out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, North High's performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in subjects like Algebra I. However, the school's performance varies across different subject areas and student subgroups. For example, North High ranks highly for White students but struggles with African American and Hispanic student performance. The school also has a higher chronic absenteeism rate and a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to nearby high schools like West High and Central High, which are also part of the Parkway C-2 district.

Despite these challenges, North High has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 92.5% to 95.2% in recent years, which is comparable to the nearby high schools. The school's dropout rate is also relatively low, ranging from 0.9% to 1.4% in recent years, which is better than the state average. However, the school could benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the performance gaps among different student subgroups and the high chronic absenteeism rate, which may be impacting overall academic achievement.

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.
