Coastal Horizons Academy

Summary:

Coastal Horizons Academy is a public charter high school located in Taft, Texas, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 62 students. The school is part of the Taft Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 877 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Coastal Horizons Academy stands out from the surrounding high schools in several key ways. The school has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (70.97%) compared to the nearby schools, which range from 52.76% to 91.03% Hispanic students. Academically, Coastal Horizons Academy consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Texas high schools, with a ranking between 1732 and 1938 out of around 1,900 high schools over the past 10 years. This places it among the lowest-performing high schools in the state. The school's four-year graduation rates have been low, ranging from 41.7% to 63.6% over the past five years, significantly lower than the surrounding schools, which have graduation rates ranging from 83.1% to 98.8%. Additionally, Coastal Horizons Academy has had high dropout rates, ranging from 4.3% to 35.7% over the past five years, much higher than the nearby schools, which have dropout rates ranging from 0.1% to 10.3%.

Coastal Horizons Academy's poor performance extends to its test scores as well, with the majority of its students not meeting proficiency standards in reading, math, science, and social studies on the STAAR/EOC assessments, in contrast to the generally better performance of the surrounding schools. The school also has a very high percentage of students (93.88% to 94.83%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among its student population. These challenges likely contribute to the school's consistently low rankings and academic outcomes, suggesting a need for significant interventions and support to improve the quality of education provided to its students.

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.
