Summary:

Chireno High School is a public high school serving 130 students in grades 9-12 in the small town of Chireno, Texas. The school is part of the Chireno Independent School District, which is ranked 435 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Chireno High School stands out for its consistently high graduation rates, ranging from 90% to 100% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average. The school also has very low dropout rates, from 0% to 0.9%, lower than the state average. However, the school's academic performance on STAAR End-of-Course exams is mixed, with some subjects like English II Reading and U.S. History performing above the state and district averages, while others like Algebra I and Biology are below. Notably, Chireno High School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (77.69%) compared to the more diverse nearby schools like Nacogdoches High School and San Augustine High School.

Another key factor is the relatively high percentage of students (50-55.88%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Chireno High School, which is higher than the state average. This indicates the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may impact academic outcomes. Continued focus on improving academic performance, particularly in weaker subject areas, and addressing the needs of economically disadvantaged students could help Chireno High School further enhance its educational outcomes.

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.
