Dr L G Pinkston Senior High School

Summary:

Dr L G Pinkston Senior High School is a public high school in Dallas, Texas, serving 1,139 students in grades 9-12. The school has a predominantly Hispanic (72%) and African American (25%) student population, and over 90% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

Despite the school's significant challenges, including consistently low academic performance, graduation rates below the state and district averages, and test scores well below state and district levels, the school appears to receive relatively high per-student funding of around $11,500. When compared to nearby schools like Dr Wright L Lassiter Junior Early College High School and Sunset High School, the performance gap is stark, suggesting that the issues faced by Dr L G Pinkston Senior High School may not be shared by all schools in the area. Additionally, the presence of high-performing charter schools, such as Uplift Williams Preparatory High School and Uplift Heights Preparatory High School, in the vicinity may indicate potential opportunities for collaboration, resource-sharing, or even school transformation initiatives that could help improve outcomes for the school's students.

The school's performance data broken down by student subgroups reveals that African American and Hispanic students at Dr L G Pinkston Senior High School perform significantly worse than their peers at the state and Dallas Independent School District levels, while the school's small population of White students performs relatively better, though still below state and district averages. This suggests that the challenges faced by the school may be a complex combination of factors, such as student demographics, community support, and school leadership, rather than solely a lack of resources.

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.

Hmm.. "This school is an embarrassment to American education", I guess this was the only school that opened you with opened arms and expected a leader. No other school hired you but this low middle class school did.. So how does that rank you umong other teachers? I guess you need to bump up YOUR grades and WORK hard to get in a better school. Its teachers like you that make kids give up on education. 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.
