Lockwood High has faced several challenges in recent years. The school's four-year graduation rate has declined, dropping from 100% in 2021-2022 to 92.3% in the last two school years, which is lower than the nearby Jasper County High School, which maintained a 100% graduation rate in 2023-2024. Lockwood High's proficiency rates on state assessments (MAP) are also significantly lower than the state averages, with only 20.6% of students proficient or better in Algebra I and 17.5% proficient or better in Biology I, compared to state averages of 41.5% and 37.4%, respectively. Additionally, Lockwood High has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 13.3% to 21.4% in recent years, which is higher than the 9.2% rate at Jasper County High School.

The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at Lockwood High, ranging from 42.55% to 50.52% in recent years, suggests that the school may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which could be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance and higher chronic absenteeism rates. When compared to nearby high schools, such as Jasper County High School and Lamar High, Lockwood High generally performs worse on key metrics, indicating that the school may face unique challenges that the surrounding schools do not.

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.
