Methodist Children's Home

Summary:

Methodist Children's Home is a public charter high school located in Waco, Texas, serving grades 6-12 with an enrollment of 80 students. The school is part of the Harmony Public Schools - North Texas district, which is ranked 846 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Compared to nearby high schools like La Vega High School, Bosqueville High School, and Waco High School, Methodist Children's Home consistently underperforms academically, ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Texas high schools with a 1-star rating. The school's performance on STAAR tests is significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. However, Methodist Children's Home has a more diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American (35%) and Hispanic (27.5%) students compared to the surrounding schools.

Despite the school's academic challenges, it has maintained a 0% dropout rate over the past several years, and its performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. Male students and African American students perform better than their female and Hispanic counterparts, respectively. Additionally, the school's English Language Learner and Special Education students show relatively stronger performance compared to other subgroups. This suggests that Methodist Children's Home may have effective strategies and practices in place to support these specialized student populations, which could potentially be replicated to improve the overall academic performance of the school.

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.
