Ector High School faces several challenges, including below-average academic performance compared to the state. The school's STAAR test scores are significantly lower than the state averages, with proficiency rates of just 20% in 7th grade reading and 22.73% in 8th grade math, compared to state averages of 52.08% and 40.23%, respectively. However, the school has maintained a high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 94.4% to 100% over the past few years, which is above the state average. Additionally, the school has had a low dropout rate, ranging from 0% to 0.7% during the same period.

When compared to nearby high schools, such as Bells High School, Ector High School generally performs below average. Bells High School, located about 8.65 miles away, has significantly higher STAAR proficiency rates and a higher 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Ector High School's performance also varies significantly among different student subgroups, with the school's special education students consistently performing poorly, ranking in the bottom 1% of Texas high schools. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $15,653 in the 2020-2021 school year, this higher spending does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes for the school.

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.
