Brownsboro High School

Summary:

Brownsboro High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Brownsboro, Texas, with a student population of 757. The school is part of the Brownsboro Independent School District and has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking between the 359th and 909th position among Texas high schools.

Brownsboro High School stands out for its consistently high graduation rates, ranging from 93.2% to 99.4% over the past 5 years, which are above the state average and comparable to nearby high-performing schools like Athens High School. Additionally, the school has very low dropout rates, ranging from 0.0% to 0.5%, significantly lower than the state average and nearby schools. However, the school's STAAR test scores are generally on par with or slightly below the state and district averages, with some notable exceptions, such as higher performance in English I and II Reading compared to the state average, but lower performance in Algebra I.

While Brownsboro High School's overall performance is solid, there are some areas for potential improvement. The school's student population is predominantly white, with 73.05% of students identifying as such, which is significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools with more diverse student bodies. Additionally, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with male students, African American students, and multi-racial students consistently ranking lower than their peers at the state level. The school's relatively high percentage of students (around 50%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch may also be a contributing factor to these disparities.

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.

Open Quote The school is terrific, and has relatively large Hispanic and African American ethic groups. While the school has a student teacher ratio of around 15-17 the average class size is 20-25. The school's VP Jeff "Doc" Howard is an amazing person who does so much for the kids and really believes in everything we stand for here at BHS and we are super lucky to have him. There is no doubt if you are looking for a campus for your children this is the best one around! Close Quote

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.
