Canutillo High School

Summary:

Canutillo High School is a public high school in El Paso, Texas, serving 1,642 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Canutillo Independent School District, which is ranked 330 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being located in the predominantly Hispanic El Paso region, Canutillo High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas high schools, maintaining a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past 10 years. The school's performance is particularly weak in Algebra I, where only 20.4% of students were proficient in 2023-2024, compared to 44.73% statewide. Canutillo High School also struggles with its Special Education and Migrant student populations, ranking in the bottom 25% and bottom 35% of Texas high schools, respectively. However, the school performs relatively better for its African American students, ranking in the top 30% of Texas high schools in 2022-2023.

Interestingly, nearby schools such as Northwest Early College High School, which is also part of the Canutillo ISD, consistently rank in the top 5% of Texas high schools. Other nearby schools, like Andress High School and Transmountain Early College High School, also outperform Canutillo High School on various metrics, including test scores, graduation rates, and overall statewide rankings. Addressing the challenges faced by Canutillo High School will likely require a multifaceted approach, including targeted interventions, resource allocation, and a deeper understanding of the school's unique student population and community context.

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.
