Summary:

Wilmer-Hutchins High School is a public high school in Dallas, Texas, serving 1,020 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Dallas Independent School District (DISD), which is ranked 557 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The student population is predominantly African American (48.73%) and Hispanic (48.53%).

Wilmer-Hutchins High School consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Texas high schools, with significantly lower proficiency rates on STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams compared to state and district averages. The school's four-year graduation rate, while improving, still lags behind state and district averages, and it has experienced relatively high dropout rates. The school's performance is particularly low for Asian, White, and Gifted and Talented student subgroups. With 73.24% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Wilmer-Hutchins High School serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Kathlyn Joy Gilliam Collegiate Academy and Barack Obama Male Leadership Academy, Wilmer-Hutchins High School performs significantly worse academically, despite spending more per student ($11,699 in 2020-2021) and having a relatively low student-teacher ratio (15.4 in 2022-2023). This suggests that simply increasing resources may not be enough to drive meaningful improvements, and a more comprehensive approach to school improvement may be required.

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.
