Summary:

Rich Hill High is a public high school located in Rich Hill, Missouri, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 185 students. The school is part of the Rich Hill R-IV school district.

One of the notable strengths of Rich Hill High is its impressive four-year graduation rates, which have increased from 76.9% in 2021-2022 to 90.9% in 2022-2023 and reached 100% in the current 2023-2024 school year. This is significantly higher than the nearby Appleton City High at 87.5% and Northeast Vernon County R-I High at 78.9%. However, the school struggles with test scores in English Language Arts, with proficiency rates ranging from 15.9% to 31.9% across different grade levels, well below the state averages.

Despite its strong graduation rates, Rich Hill High faces some challenges, including a concerning trend in its chronic absenteeism rates, which have increased from 6.4% in 2021-2022 to 11.4% in 2022-2023. This is higher than the nearby Appleton City High (13.6%) and Nevada High (15.6%). Additionally, the school serves a relatively high percentage of low-socioeconomic status students, with 54.05% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to its academic performance challenges.

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.
