Birdville High School

Summary:

Birdville High School is a public high school serving 2,086 students in grades 9-12 in North Richland Hills, Texas, which is part of the Birdville Independent School District. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup that is predominantly White (48.66%), followed by Hispanic (32.79%) and African American (11.07%) students.

Birdville High School is a strong-performing school, consistently ranking in the top 25% of Texas high schools over the past 10 years and maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts impressive metrics, including a 4-year graduation rate ranging from 96.1% to 98.6% over the past 5 years, well above the state average, and very low dropout rates of 0.1% to 0.4% during the same period. Birdville High School's STAAR EOC test scores are generally higher than the district and state averages, particularly in subjects like Biology, English II Reading, and U.S. History. The school also performs well across various student subgroups, with its female, White, and multi-racial students ranking in the top 25% of Texas high schools, and its English Language Learners and Special Education students ranking in the top 15% and top 12%, respectively.

While Birdville High School is a strong-performing school, it faces some challenges compared to nearby high-performing schools, such as Colleyville Heritage High School, which is part of the higher-ranked Grapevine-Colleyville Independent School District. Colleyville Heritage High School has stronger academic performance, particularly in STAAR EOC test scores, and offers specialized programs like the Grapevine-Colleyville Collegiate Academy at TCC NE, which Birdville High School does not have. Additionally, Birdville High School has a higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (45.73%) compared to Colleyville Heritage High School, which may contribute to some of the performance differences between the two schools.

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.
