Quest High School

Summary:

Quest High School is a small public high school serving grades 9-12 in Burnet, Texas, part of the Burnet Consolidated Independent School District. With only 46 students, Quest High School consistently ranks among the lowest-performing high schools in the state, with test scores, graduation rates, and other key metrics well below state and district averages.

Despite having a relatively high per-student spending compared to nearby schools, Quest High School's performance on STAAR EOC exams is significantly lower across all subgroups, including female students, male students, Hispanic students, white students, special education students, low socioeconomic status students, and at-risk students. The school's proficiency rates on these exams are often less than half the district's averages, and its statewide rankings have ranged from the bottom 10-15% over the past decade. While the school maintains a high four-year graduation rate, its dropout rate has been higher than the state and district averages.

When compared to other high schools in the surrounding area, such as Burnet High School, Lampasas High School, Liberty Hill High School, and Marble Falls High School, Quest High School consistently underperforms on key metrics. The school's small size and high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds may be contributing factors to its challenges in providing a diverse curriculum, extracurricular activities, and specialized support services.

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.
