Tri-County High

Summary:

Tri-County High is a public high school located in Jamesport, Missouri, serving grades 5-12 with a total enrollment of 95 students. The school is part of the Tri-County R-VII District, which is ranked 343 out of 376 districts in Missouri and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Tri-County High faces several challenges, including a significantly higher percentage of white students (95.79%) compared to the state average and nearby schools, consistently low academic performance with only 20% of students proficient in Algebra I compared to the state average of 41.5%, and a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (44.21% receive free or reduced-price lunch). The school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 132 out of 523 schools in 2012-2013 to 300 out of 352 schools in 2022-2023, indicating that it is not keeping pace with the academic progress of other schools in Missouri.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Penney High, which has a higher percentage of students proficient in Algebra I (48.8% vs. 20%) and a higher statewide ranking, Tri-County High generally performs worse academically. This suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes at Tri-County High.

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.
