Shannon High School

Summary:

Shannon High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Haltom City, Texas, with a relatively small student population of 132. However, the school has consistently struggled academically, ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Texas high schools over the past 6 years and receiving 0 or 1-star ratings from SchoolDigger, indicating very low performance compared to its peers.

The key challenges facing Shannon High School include declining graduation rates, which have dropped from 62.4% in 2019-2020 to just 49.2% in 2020-2021, well below the state and Birdville Independent School District averages. Additionally, the school has experienced high dropout rates ranging from 5.8% to 13.9% over the past 5 years, much higher than the state and district averages. Analyzing student subgroup performance, Shannon High School ranks in the bottom 10-30% of Texas high schools for female, male, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students, with particularly concerning performance for African American and Special Education students, ranking in the bottom 5-10%.

When compared to other high schools in the Birdville ISD and nearby Fort Worth ISD, the performance gap is quite significant. Schools like Birdville High School, Richland High School, and Im Terrell Academy for STEM and VPA significantly outperform Shannon High School across a variety of metrics, including test scores, graduation rates, and student subgroup performance. Despite the school's current struggles, the data indicates that there is room for improvement, particularly for certain student subgroups, suggesting that with the right interventions and support, Shannon High School could potentially enhance its educational outcomes.

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.
