Caprock High School

Summary:

Caprock High School is a public high school in Amarillo, Texas, serving around 2,090 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Amarillo Independent School District, which is ranked 442 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Caprock High School faces several key challenges, including a student population that is predominantly Hispanic (around 70%) and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (over 76% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch). The school consistently ranks in the lower half of Texas high schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, and its performance on STAAR EOC (End of Course) exams is generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in subjects like Algebra I and English I/II Reading. Additionally, Caprock High School has seen a decline in its four-year graduation rate, dropping from 92.2% in 2020-2021 to 86.3% in 2022-2023, and its dropout rate has increased from 2.0% in 2018-2019 to 3.0% in 2020-2021.

When compared to other high schools in the Amarillo area, such as Amarillo High School and Randall High School, Caprock High School generally underperforms on academic measures and has lower graduation rates. While the school's per-student spending is comparable to other high schools in the Amarillo ISD, the high percentage of Hispanic and economically disadvantaged students may contribute to the school's academic challenges, and addressing these issues will likely require a multifaceted approach focused on targeted interventions, resource allocation, and community collaboration.

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.

Open Quote On 04-28-11, We passed Caprock High School in a funeral procession for my Father. The family of James Chambers would like to send thanks to the ball team for showing their utmost respect when they knelt down and with hats in hand they bowed their heads. These young men should be commended for honoring my father. You should be very proud of these young men. Thanks again

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.
