Bellville High School

Summary:

Bellville High School is a public high school serving 698 students in grades 9-12 in Bellville, Texas, which is part of the Bellville Independent School District. The school stands out for its consistently high graduation rates, low dropout rates, and generally strong performance on standardized tests compared to nearby schools like Brenham High School and Royal High School.

Bellville High School has a higher percentage of white students (62.18%) compared to nearby schools, which have more diverse student populations. The school also boasts impressive four-year graduation rates ranging from 97.6% to 99.4% over the past five years, significantly outpacing the 90-92% graduation rates of nearby schools. Additionally, Bellville High School has extremely low dropout rates, ranging from 0.0% to 0.8%, compared to 1.2% to 2.7% at nearby schools. On standardized tests, the school generally performs better than state and district averages, particularly in Biology, English I/II Reading, and U.S. History, though it struggles with Algebra I proficiency.

While Bellville High School's overall performance is strong, there are some areas for improvement. The school's racial achievement gaps indicate that African American and Hispanic students consistently score lower than their white and Asian peers on standardized tests. Additionally, the school's performance for students in special education and English language learner programs is relatively low compared to the state and district, suggesting these are areas that could benefit from additional support and resources.

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.
