Chisum High School

Summary:

Chisum High School is a public high school located in Paris, Texas, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 322 students. The school is part of the Paris Independent School District, which is ranked 169 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Chisum High School has several key strengths, including consistently high four-year graduation rates ranging from 96.3% to 98.7% over the past five years, outperforming the state average. The school also has very low dropout rates, ranging from 0.0% to 0.7% over the same period, which are lower than the state average. Academically, Chisum High School students perform well on STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams, with higher proficiency rates than the state average in several subjects, including Biology, English I Reading, English II Reading, and U.S. History. Additionally, the school's Gifted and Talented program is highly ranked, placing in the top 5.6% of Texas high schools in the 2022-2023 school year.

While Chisum High School has a strong overall performance, there are some areas for improvement. The school has a significantly higher percentage of White students (82.3%) compared to the surrounding schools, which have a more diverse student population. This suggests that the school may need to address racial achievement gaps, as its ranking for African American students is significantly lower than for other racial groups. Additionally, the school's performance in Algebra I is lower than the state and district averages, indicating a potential area for improvement. Compared to nearby schools like Paris High School and Travis H S Of Choice, Chisum High School generally outperforms in terms of graduation rates, dropout rates, and test scores, but there is still room for growth.

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.
