Caney Creek High School

Summary:

Caney Creek High School is a public high school in Conroe, Texas, serving 2,504 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Conroe Independent School District. The school faces several challenges, including a high percentage of economically disadvantaged and Hispanic students, lower academic performance compared to the district and state, and a widening achievement gap.

Caney Creek High School has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (65.58%) compared to the state average and nearby schools like Grand Oaks High School and Oak Ridge High School. The school's performance on STAAR EOC exams is significantly lower than the Conroe Independent School District and state averages across all subject areas, and it has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, Caney Creek High School has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 94.2% to 96.9% over the past five years.

The performance gap between Caney Creek High School and the district/state averages has widened over the past few years, particularly in core subject areas. The school's relatively high per-student spending ($9,698 in 2020-2021) compared to the district and state averages suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and instructional strategies to better support its diverse student population, including its Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education students who are struggling to achieve at the same level as their peers.

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.
