Lone Star H S West

Summary:

Lone Star H S West is a small public high school in Brownwood, Texas, serving grades 8-12 with just 52 students. Despite its small size, the school stands out for its racial diversity and consistently low academic performance, ranking in the bottom 5-10% of Texas high schools.

With a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, ranging from 81.73% to 97.46% over the past few years, Lone Star H S West faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education. The school's performance on STAAR EOC exams is significantly below the state and Brownwood Independent School District (Isd) averages, and its graduation rates are a concern. In comparison, nearby high schools like Santa Anna Secondary, May High School, and Bangs High School generally perform better academically and have higher graduation rates, despite also serving economically disadvantaged student populations.

The unique demographic profile and persistent challenges at Lone Star H S West suggest that targeted interventions, additional resources, and a focus on improving teaching and learning may be necessary to address the school's underperformance. As the Brownwood Independent School District (Isd) works to support its students, the community may need to consider innovative approaches to ensure that all learners at Lone Star H S West receive the high-quality education they deserve.

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.
