Anthony High School

Summary:

Anthony High School is a public high school located in Anthony, Texas, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 236 students. The school is part of the Anthony Independent School District, which is ranked 677 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Anthony High School has a predominantly Hispanic student population, with 97.03% of students identifying as Hispanic in the 2022-2023 school year. The school has maintained a relatively high graduation rate, with the most recent year (2022-2023) at 96.2%. However, its performance on STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams has been mixed compared to the state and district averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 41.3% in Algebra I to 58.49% in U.S. History. The school has a significantly higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (77.97%) compared to nearby schools, such as Parkland High School and Transmountain Early College High School, which have more diverse racial compositions and higher graduation rates.

Despite the challenges faced by Anthony High School, the school's spending per student has remained relatively consistent, ranging from $14,540 in 2020-2021 to $15,088 in 2019-2020. This may contribute to the school's performance and resources, though it still lags behind some of the nearby schools in terms of test scores and graduation rates. The unique characteristics of the Anthony community, including its high concentration of Hispanic students and low-income families, highlight the need for targeted support and resources to help the school and its students succeed.

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.
