Ranch Academy

Summary:

Ranch Academy is a public charter high school located in Canton, Texas, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 93 students. The school has a relatively low statewide ranking, consistently ranking in the bottom half of Texas high schools over the past decade, and its district is also ranked 855 out of 968 districts in Texas and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Ranch Academy has several key metrics that differentiate it from nearby schools. The school has a significantly higher percentage of White students (74.19%) compared to the more diverse student populations at nearby schools like Edgewood High School, Fruitvale High School, and Mabank High School. Ranch Academy also has consistently low four-year graduation rates, ranging from 58.3% to 65.7% over the past five years, which are significantly lower than the nearby schools. Additionally, the school has high dropout rates, ranging from 6.8% to 10.5% over the past five years, much higher than the nearby schools.

Ranch Academy's STAAR/EOC test scores are consistently lower than the state averages across all subject areas and grade levels, with proficiency rates in 7th grade reading (40%), 8th grade math (20%), and Algebra I (16.67%) significantly below the state averages. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 54.1% to 85.33% over the past three years, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. While Ranch Academy spends more per student ($15,018 in 2020-2021) compared to the nearby schools, this may suggest higher operating costs or resource allocation challenges. Overall, the combination of low test scores, high dropout rates, and a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students suggests that Ranch Academy is facing significant challenges in providing a quality education and supporting its student population.

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.
