Bangs High School

Summary:

Bangs High School is a public high school located in Bangs, Texas, serving 247 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Bangs Independent School District, which is ranked 406 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bangs High School stands out for its consistently high graduation rates, ranging from 93.3% to 98.4% over the past few years, which are above the state average. The school also has very low dropout rates, ranging from 0.0% to 0.7%, significantly lower than the state average. Academically, Bangs High School performs better than the state average in several STAAR EOC (End of Course) exams, particularly in Biology, English II Reading, and U.S. History, but struggles with Algebra I proficiency. The school serves a relatively economically disadvantaged population, with 47.06% to 57.89% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, higher than the state average. However, Bangs High School's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.3 to 9.5, is a positive factor that likely allows for more individualized attention and support for students.

When compared to nearby schools, Coleman High School and Early High School both outperform Bangs High School on STAAR EOC exams, particularly in Algebra I and U.S. History. This suggests that Bangs High School could learn from the instructional practices and support systems used at these higher-performing schools. On the other hand, smaller and lower-performing schools like Premier H.S. of Comanche/Early and Mullin Oaks struggle with test scores and other academic metrics compared to Bangs High School, highlighting the relative strengths of the school in serving its student population.

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.
