Hope High School

Summary:

Hope High School is a small public high school serving grades 9-12 in Port Lavaca, Texas, part of the Calhoun County Independent School District. With a student population ranging from 25 to 52 students, Hope High School is significantly smaller than nearby Calhoun High School (987 students) and other regional high schools.

While Hope High School has maintained strong graduation rates, its academic performance, as measured by STAAR EOC test scores, is significantly lagging behind the district and state averages. For example, in 2022-2023, only 9% of Hope High School students were proficient or better in English II Reading, compared to 54% for the district and 56% for the state. This stark contrast in student performance suggests the school may be struggling to effectively prepare students for college and career readiness. Additionally, Hope High School has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas high schools, with a ranking as low as 1916 out of 1961 in the 2022-2023 school year.

The small school size, high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (ranging from 70% to 84% over the past three school years), and low statewide ranking suggest that Hope High School may face resource challenges that impact its ability to provide a high-quality education. Comparing Hope High School to other nearby schools, such as Austwell-Tivoli High School and Industrial High School, reveals significant differences in student performance and school rankings, highlighting the need to understand the unique challenges and contexts of each school to develop targeted interventions and support.

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.
