Summary:

Bovina High School is a public high school serving 125 students in grades 9-12 in Bovina, Texas. The school is part of the Bovina Independent School District, which is ranked 833 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Bovina High School's student population is predominantly Hispanic, with over 90% of students identifying as such in recent years.

While Bovina High School maintains high graduation rates, ranging from 90.9% to 100% in recent years, and a 0% dropout rate, its academic performance lags behind state averages. The school's proficiency rates on STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams are lower than the state, particularly in subjects like Algebra I, Biology, and U.S. History. Additionally, over 80% of Bovina High School's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 6.8 to 7.1 in recent years, could be a positive factor in terms of individual attention and support for students.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Farwell High School and Friona High School, Bovina High School's performance is mixed. Farwell High School has higher test scores, a higher graduation rate, and a lower percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting it may be a higher-performing school overall. Friona High School, on the other hand, has a similar demographic profile to Bovina High School, but its test scores and graduation rates are generally better. Bovina High School's statewide ranking has also declined over the years, from a high of 708 out of 1,762 Texas high schools in 2015-2016 to a low of 1,493 out of 1,961 in 2022-2023, indicating that its performance may be declining relative to other schools in the state.

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.
