Apple Springs High School

Summary:

Apple Springs High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 87 students in the small town of Apple Springs, Texas. The school is part of the Apple Springs Independent School District, which is ranked 716 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Apple Springs High School has some notable strengths, such as a 100% four-year graduation rate and a low student-teacher ratio, it faces a combination of demographic, academic, and socioeconomic challenges. The school has a significantly higher percentage of White students (83.91%) compared to nearby schools, which have more diverse student populations. Its performance on STAAR tests is inconsistent, with some subject areas scoring above the state and district averages, while others are significantly below. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students (around 50%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges.

Compared to nearby schools like Pineywoods Community Academy High School and Hudson High School, Apple Springs High School generally underperforms, with lower rankings, poorer test scores, and less diverse student populations. While the school has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, its statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, from 737 out of 1,743 high schools in 2014-2015 to 1,344 out of 1,987 high schools in 2023-2024.

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.
