Danbury High School

Summary:

Danbury High School is a public high school serving 244 students in grades 9-12 in Danbury, Texas, which is part of the Angleton Independent School District. The school has a predominantly white student population and has maintained high graduation rates, but its academic performance and test scores show some areas for improvement.

Danbury High School's student population is significantly more white (70.49%) than the nearby schools, which have more diverse student bodies. The school's overall academic performance ranks in the middle range of Texas high schools, performing better than some nearby schools like Rise and Brazos Success Academy, but lagging behind higher-performing schools like Santa Fe High School and Alvin High School. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 98.5% is well above the state average, but its performance on STAAR exams varies, with strong results in science and English but struggles in Algebra I.

Danbury High School's spending per student has increased in recent years, reaching $13,416 in 2020-2021, which is higher than the state average and some nearby schools. However, the school's performance gaps among different student subgroups, such as Gifted and Talented students performing exceptionally well but English Language Learners and Low Socioeconomic Status students struggling, suggest areas for improvement. Overall, Danbury High School appears to be a relatively strong school, but the factors contributing to its demographic and academic differences compared to nearby schools warrant further investigation.

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.
