SANTA FE HIGH SCHOOL

SANTA FE HIGH is a Title I public high school that is part of the SANTA FE R-X school district, located in ALMA, MO with about 164 students offering grade levels from 7th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 15 teachers, SANTA FE HIGH has a student/teacher ratio of about 10:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

SANTA FE HIGH School, located in Alma, Missouri, serves as the central secondary educational institution for the Santa Fe R-X School District.
