Trinity Charter School - Brenham Campus

Summary:

Trinity Charter School - Brenham Campus is a small public charter high school serving grades 6-12 in Brenham, Texas, with a diverse student population of just 38 students. However, the school has consistently struggled to provide a quality education, ranking among the lowest-performing high schools in the state.

Despite its small student-teacher ratio and high per-student spending, Trinity Charter School - Brenham Campus has very low academic performance, with STAAR test proficiency rates that are significantly below the state and Brenham Independent School District averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 11.11% of 7th graders were proficient in reading, compared to 25.81% for the district and 52.08% statewide. The school's high poverty rates, with 90-93% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may contribute to these poor academic outcomes.

When compared to the nearby traditional public high schools, such as Brenham High School, Trinity Charter School - Brenham Campus performs significantly worse across a range of metrics, including test scores, graduation rates, and dropout rates. The school's small size and unique student population may present both challenges and opportunities, but significant improvements are needed to better serve the Brenham community and provide a quality education 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.
