Academically, South Sevier High has had a mixed performance, with its statewide ranking fluctuating in recent years. However, the school has shown strengths in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, outperforming the Sevier District and state averages in several recent years. Additionally, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 17.7 students per teacher, which could be an advantage in providing more personalized attention and support to students.

One key differentiator for South Sevier High is its high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 35.77% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests a need for additional resources and support to address the unique challenges faced by these students. When compared to nearby schools, such as Richfield High and Cedar Ridge High, South Sevier High has generally underperformed in academic metrics, highlighting the need for the school to closely examine its curriculum, instructional practices, and support systems to ensure more consistent academic success for all its students.

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.
