Castleberry High School

Summary:

Castleberry High School is a public high school in Fort Worth, Texas, serving grades 8-12 with a total enrollment of 1,042 students. The school is part of the Castleberry Independent School District, which is ranked 737 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Castleberry High School faces several challenges, including a student population that is 83.88% Hispanic, significantly higher than the state average. The school consistently ranks in the bottom half of Texas high schools, with a 1 or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. While the school maintains a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 92.2% to 93.0%, its STAAR test scores are consistently lower than the state and district averages across all subject areas. Additionally, 84.74% of Castleberry High School's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Interestingly, the nearby schools within the Castleberry Independent School District, such as Reach High School and T R U C E Learning Center, also struggle academically, suggesting that the challenges faced by Castleberry High School may be systemic within the district. The school's per-student spending has also decreased over the past few years, which may be contributing to its academic challenges.

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.
