East Bernard High School

Summary:

East Bernard High School is a public high school serving 293 students in grades 9-12, located in the town of East Bernard, Texas, which is part of the East Bernard Independent School District. This high-performing school consistently ranks among the top high schools in Texas, with a strong track record of academic excellence, exceptional graduation rates, and effective support for certain student subgroups.

East Bernard High School stands out for its consistently high academic performance, with a statewide ranking between 161 and 421 over the past 10 years and a 4- or 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's students consistently outperform the state and district averages on STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams, particularly in subjects like Biology, English I and II Reading, and U.S. History. Additionally, the school's Gifted and Talented program is highly ranked, placing in the top 39 out of 1,172 Texas high schools in this category. However, the school's student population is predominantly White, in contrast to the more diverse nearby schools like Sealy High School and B F Terry High School.

While East Bernard High School's overall performance is exceptional, with a four-year graduation rate consistently above 96% and a 0% dropout rate, the school may need to address the performance gaps for underrepresented student populations, such as African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education students. By identifying and addressing the specific challenges faced by these groups, the school can work towards more equitable and inclusive educational opportunities for all its students. Collaboration and sharing of best practices with nearby schools, such as Fulshear High School and Wharton High School, could also lead to improved outcomes for the entire region.

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.
