Beaumont United High School

Summary:

Beaumont United High School is a public magnet high school in Beaumont, Texas, serving 2,131 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Beaumont Independent School District, which is ranked 869 out of 968 districts in the state.

Beaumont United High School faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools. The school has a predominantly African American student population (65.56%), which is much higher than the state average and nearby schools like West Brook Senior High School and Beaumont Independent School District (Isd) Early College High School. Academically, the school consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Texas high schools, with proficiency rates on state exams ranging from just 14% to 33% across various subjects, well below state and district averages. The school's four-year graduation rate of 79.6% is also lower than the state average, and its dropout rates, ranging from 2.5% to 8.3%, are higher than nearby high-performing schools.

Underlying these challenges is the high percentage (85.83%) of students from low-income families at Beaumont United High School, suggesting that socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the school's struggles. Comparing Beaumont United High School to nearby schools like Beaumont Independent School District (Isd) Early College High School, which demonstrate higher academic performance, graduation rates, and more diverse student populations, highlights the need for a comprehensive approach to address the systemic inequities and provide targeted support to improve student outcomes at Beaumont United 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.
