South Iron High

Summary:

South Iron High is a public high school located in Annapolis, Missouri, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 164 students. The school is part of the South Iron County R-I school district, which is ranked 274 out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

South Iron High has several areas of strength, including consistently high four-year graduation rates ranging from 88.8% to 96.4% in recent years, which is notably higher than the surrounding schools. However, the school faces challenges in terms of increasing chronic absenteeism, from 7.5% to 13.2% over the past two years, and lower test scores compared to state averages, with only 32.3% of students proficient or better in Algebra I, compared to the state average of 41.5%. The school also serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 61.87% to 71.95% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Ellington High School and Arcadia Valley High, South Iron High has lower test scores and a lower district ranking, but a higher four-year graduation rate than Ellington High School. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.8 to 11.3, suggests it may have the capacity to provide more individualized attention to its students, but the decline in funding per student, from $13,705 in 2019-2020 to $12,086 in 2021-2022, may have impacted the school's ability to support its students effectively.

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.
