Chisholm Trail High School

Summary:

Chisholm Trail High School is a public high school in Fort Worth, Texas, serving 2,493 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Eagle Mt-Saginaw Independent School District, which is ranked 563 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Chisholm Trail High School stands out for its diverse student population, with 44.12% Hispanic, 29.84% White, and 17.49% African American students. The school has consistently high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 94.5% to 96.6% over the past five years, which is higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, Chisholm Trail has relatively low dropout rates, ranging from 0.3% to 1.3%, lower than nearby Diamond Hill-Jarvis High School and North Side High School. However, the school's performance on STAAR End-of-Course exams is mixed, with stronger results in English II Reading and U.S. History, but lagging behind in Algebra I and Biology.

Chisholm Trail High School's diverse population and strong graduation and dropout rates are positive indicators, but the school faces some academic challenges, particularly in math and science. The school may need to focus on improving instruction in these subject areas to better support all students. Additionally, the school's changing racial demographics, with a decreasing White student population and increasing Hispanic enrollment, are worth monitoring to ensure the school continues to meet the needs of its diverse community.

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.
