Cedar Creek High School

Summary:

Cedar Creek High School is a public high school serving grades 8-12 with 2,002 students in Cedar Creek, Texas, which is part of the Bastrop Independent School District. The school has faced challenges, ranking in the bottom half of Texas high schools with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, and its students performing significantly below state and district averages on standardized tests.

While Cedar Creek High School's overall academic performance is low, its African American and White student subgroups have performed better relative to their peers statewide. Additionally, the school's migrant student subgroup has consistently ranked in the top 10% of Texas high schools. In comparison, Bastrop High School, another school in the district, has generally outperformed Cedar Creek High School, and Colorado River Collegiate Academy, a public charter school in the district, has significantly outperformed both Cedar Creek High School and Bastrop High School across various metrics.

Cedar Creek High School faces challenges, including a high proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds and below-average academic performance. However, the school's stronger-performing subgroups and the success of nearby schools within the same district suggest that addressing the school's overall deficiencies and learning from these higher-performing examples could be valuable strategies for improving educational outcomes at Cedar Creek High School.

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.
