Columbus Crossing High School

Summary:

Columbus Crossing High School is a small public high school in Columbus, Texas, serving just 12 students in grades 9-12. Despite its tiny size, the school has consistently underperformed compared to state and regional averages, ranking in the bottom 10% of Texas high schools.

With a fluctuating graduation rate ranging from 63.6% to 100% over the past five years, and dropout rates as high as 18.2%, Columbus Crossing High School struggles to meet the needs of its student population. The school's performance on state assessments is also significantly below average, with proficiency rates ranging from 0% to 40% across various subjects. Notably, the school's female students, low-income students, and at-risk students perform particularly poorly, all ranking in the bottom 1% of Texas high schools.

In contrast, the larger Columbus High School, also located in the Columbus Independent School District, performs better than its smaller counterpart, though it still falls short of state averages in some areas. The stark differences between these two schools highlight the challenges faced by smaller, underperforming institutions, and the importance of providing targeted support and resources to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.

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.
