Ray High School

Summary:

Ray High School is a public high school located in Corpus Christi, Texas, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 1,640. The school is part of the Corpus Christi Independent School District, which is ranked 595 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ray High School faces academic challenges, with its overall performance ranking in the bottom half of Texas high schools. However, the school's strengths lie in the exceptional performance of its Asian and multi-racial student subgroups, which rank in the top 5% and top 10% of Texas high schools, respectively. In contrast, the school's English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status student subgroups perform poorly, ranking in the bottom 25% of Texas high schools. Compared to nearby schools within the Corpus Christi ISD, such as Carroll High School, King High School, and Moody High School, which have similar academic performance and demographic profiles, Ray High School stands out with its relatively low dropout rates.

To improve, Ray High School may need to focus on targeted interventions and support for its English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status student populations. The nearby Collegiate High School, a public charter school within the district, serves as an example of exceptional academic performance, ranking in the top 5% of Texas high schools and achieving a 100% 4-year graduation rate.

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.

Open Quote Ray High School is a wonderful place to be for both employees and students! Although some reviews online may be negative, your child's experience at Ray is completely dependent on their involvement in different groups and social circles at school. There are plenty of opportunities for ALL students to get involved in some type of organization which can help them develop skills, passions, and friendships that will stay with them for the rest of their life. Whether it's academic, athletic, voluntary, or any other type of extracurricular program, your child will find their niche at Ray and feel like an important part of the welcoming community here. The IB and AP programs especially provide a wonderful opportunity for your child to challenge themselves academically and set themselves up on a path towards a wonderful higher education/career. If you're deciding between high schools in the area, Ray is the Way! Close Quote

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.
