Huston Academy

Summary:

Huston Academy is a small public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in Stephenville, Texas, with a student population of just 41 students. The school is part of the Erath Excels Academy Inc. district, which is ranked 877 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Huston Academy stands out for its more diverse student population compared to nearby schools like Hico High School, De Leon High School, and Stephenville High School. In the 2022-2023 school year, Huston Academy had a higher percentage of Hispanic students (48.78%) and a lower percentage of White students (46.34%). However, the school's academic performance has been inconsistent, with fluctuations in its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating. In the 2023-2024 school year, Huston Academy ranked 1026 out of 1987 Texas high schools and received a 2-star rating, which is lower than the nearby schools.

Huston Academy also faces challenges related to its student population's socioeconomic status. The school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 75.56% to 100% over the past few years, significantly higher than the nearby schools. This may impact the school's resources and its ability to provide comprehensive educational support. While Huston Academy's current performance is below the state and district averages, its small size and diverse student population could present opportunities for targeted interventions and personalized learning approaches that could lead to improved outcomes in the future.

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.
