Travis County Juvenile Detention Center

Summary:

The Travis County Juvenile Detention Center is a public high school in Austin, Texas that serves grades 7-12, with a small student population of only 24 students. Despite its location in the Austin Independent School District, which is ranked 554 out of 968 districts in Texas, the school consistently ranks near the bottom of Texas high schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. It has had a 0% four-year graduation rate for the past two school years, indicating that virtually no students are graduating on time, and dropout rates ranging from 1% to 4.5% over the past several years, which are significantly higher than the state and district averages. Across all STAAR subject tests, the school has 0% proficiency rates, far below the state and district averages. For example, in 2023-2024, the school had 0% proficiency in 8th grade math and Algebra I, compared to 41% and 40% for the Austin Independent School District, respectively. The school also has a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 57-70% over the past few years.

When comparing the Travis County Juvenile Detention Center to nearby high-performing schools like Austin High School, Crockett ECHS, and Richards School for Young Women Leaders, the academic performance gap is staggering. These nearby schools have significantly higher test scores, graduation rates, and overall rankings. Despite the poor academic outcomes, the Travis County Juvenile Detention Center has a very high per-student spending, ranging from $26,248 to $67,217 over the past few years, suggesting that the school may be struggling to effectively allocate resources to improve student learning.

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.
