Colmesneil Jh/High School

Summary:

Colmesneil Jh/High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in the Colmesneil Independent School District in Colmesneil, Texas, with a student population of 194 that is predominantly White (85.05%).

Colmesneil Jh/High School consistently performs above the state average on STAAR assessments, particularly in Algebra I, English, and U.S. History, and has a strong graduation rate of 97.2%. However, the school faces challenges in maintaining its statewide ranking and addressing the performance gap between different student subgroups, with White students performing significantly lower than the state average while Hispanic students excel. Compared to nearby schools like Zavalla High School and Chester High School, Colmesneil Jh/High School stands out for its academic performance, but it also has a higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds and a lower student-to-teacher ratio.

One interesting finding is the exceptional performance of Hispanic students at Colmesneil Jh/High School, who consistently outperform the state average on STAAR assessments and rank among the top 5% of Texas high schools for Hispanic student performance. This contrasts with the school's White students, who perform significantly lower than the state average. The school's overall academic excellence, combined with its challenges in maintaining its statewide ranking and addressing the performance gap between student subgroups, make it an intriguing case study for parents and educators in the Zavalla Independent School District (Isd), Chester Independent School District (Isd), and Woodville Independent School District (Isd).

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.
