MOCAP Attendance Center

Summary:

MOCAP Attendance Center is a small alternative public school in Springfield, Missouri, serving grades K-12 and part of the Springfield R-XII school district. Despite its relatively small size of around 100 students, the school stands out for its consistently high graduation rates, which range from 93.9% to 98.1% over the past few years, significantly outpacing the state average and nearby alternative schools like Greene Valley School and Moca-S.

However, the school faces some challenges, including relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.9% to 30.6% in recent years, which are significantly higher than the 0.0% rates reported in some years, suggesting potential data quality issues. Additionally, MOCAP Attendance Center's test scores, as measured by the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP), are generally lower than the district and state averages across various grade levels and subject areas, often by 10-20 percentage points. Compared to nearby alternative schools, the school's performance is on par or slightly higher in some areas, but still below the district and state averages.

Despite these academic performance challenges, MOCAP Attendance Center's low dropout rates, ranging from 0.8% to 2.0%, suggest that the school is effectively supporting its students and helping them successfully complete their high school education. Further investigation and targeted interventions may be necessary to address the chronic absenteeism concerns and improve the school's overall academic outcomes.

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.
