North Daviess High, Jameson MO - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on North Daviess High

North Daviess High serves a very small student body drawn from the surrounding agricultural countryside of Daviess County. The school covers grades seven through twelve under one roof, making it a combined middle and high school. The village of Jameson, where the school is located, is a rural hamlet with a population that has been in long-term decline. Its civic life centers on a short Main Street corridor with a Lions Hall, a firehouse, a post office, and the school district offices. There are no major private employers; the school district and the fire protection district are the primary institutional presences. The area remains predominantly farmland, and no new housing developments or growth projects have been identified.

The school itself is very small. Every enrolled student qualifies for free or reduced-price meals, and the student body is entirely white. Because of the school’s size, state assessment results in math, English language arts, and science are not reported for public release—the number of test-takers is too small to meet disclosure thresholds. This is a common situation in a school of this scale and does not necessarily reflect on the quality of instruction, but it does mean there is no standardized-test picture of academic performance to draw on. A parent looking for proficiency data or year-over-year trends will find none available.

No graduation rate is published for the school, and no information on chronic absenteeism, discipline, course access, or staffing was available in the data used for this profile. The school offers grades seven through twelve, so most students likely continue on to graduation, but without reported metrics a family cannot verify that from public sources. Comparisons to other districts in Daviess County were not possible because the relevant academic and attendance data are missing.

The housing market in the area around Jameson shows values that are moderate relative to state benchmarks. The village’s population decline and lack of commercial development point to a quiet, stable environment with little new construction. For a family considering this school, the central question may be whether the very small size—with its potential for close relationships and individualized attention—aligns with their priorities, and whether the absence of public academic data is a concern they are willing to explore directly with the school.

How this school compares to all schools in this state

Each dot is one school’s SY 2020-21 graduation rate, binned by integer rate. Taller columns mean more schools at that rate. This school is highlighted.

533 schools plotted. 66 additional schools' rates are federally suppressed and not shown. Data: EDFacts SY 2020-21.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
