Billy Moore

Summary:

Billy Moore is a public charter high school located in Overton, Texas, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 196 students. The school is part of the Overton Independent School District (Isd), which is ranked 886 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Billy Moore faces significant challenges in terms of student academic achievement, graduation rates, and overall school performance. The school has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (53.57%) compared to the nearby schools, which range from 10.89% to 51.65% Hispanic students. However, Billy Moore's performance on academic measures is particularly low for this subgroup, ranking 1556 out of 1820 Texas high schools for Hispanic students in 2022-2023. The school's 4-year graduation rate is a mere 31.4%, with dropout rates ranging from 28.7% to 39.6% over the past few years, in stark contrast to the nearby schools, such as Whitehouse High School, Troup High School, and Sabine High School, which have graduation rates ranging from 92% to 100% and dropout rates below 1.9%.

Billy Moore's academic performance, as measured by STAAR EOC proficiency rates, is significantly lower than the nearby schools and the state average across all subject areas. For example, in Algebra I, Billy Moore's proficiency rate was only 6.25% compared to the state average of 44.73%. Additionally, the school has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 28.3, compared to the nearby schools which range from 8.4 to 15.4. Despite the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, over 97% of whom qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, Billy Moore's per-student spending is relatively low compared to the nearby schools, which may be a contributing factor to its poor performance.

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.
