Summary:
The city of Ranger, Texas is home to three public schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Ranger Elementary, Ranger High School, and Ranger Middle. Unfortunately, the data indicates that these schools are consistently underperforming compared to state averages across a range of key metrics, including test scores, graduation rates, and socioeconomic indicators.
On standardized tests, all three Ranger schools have significantly lower proficiency rates than the state average, with as few as 8.7% of 3rd graders at Ranger Elementary meeting reading standards. The graduation rate at Ranger High School is also well below the state average at just 71%. Additionally, the schools serve a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with 77-78% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
While the Ranger Independent School District spends varying amounts per student across the three schools, the data suggests that resource allocation may not be effectively addressing the significant academic and socioeconomic challenges facing the district. Without substantial improvements, the Ranger schools will likely continue to struggle to provide a high-quality education for their students.
