Economedes High School

Summary:

Economedes High School is a public high school located in Edinburg, Texas, serving grades 8-12 with a total enrollment of 2,762 students. The school is part of the Edinburg Consolidated Independent School District, which is ranked 443 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Economedes High School faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, with consistently low rankings among Texas high schools and STAAR End-of-Course exam scores that are significantly below district and state averages across all subject areas. The school's four-year graduation rate has ranged from 85.3% to 92.3% over the past five years, which is lower than the state average, and its dropout rate has fluctuated between 1.0% and 4.5% during the same period, which is higher than the state average. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as English Language Learners, Special Education students, and Low Socioeconomic Status students, who rank in the bottom quarter of Texas high schools in these categories.

While the nearby traditional public schools in the Edinburg Consolidated Independent School District, such as Edinburg North High School and Edinburg High School, perform better than Economedes High School on academic measures, the South Texas Independent School District (STISD) World Scholars, a public magnet high school, and the IDEA Edinburg College Preparatory and IDEA Toros College Preparatory, both public charter high schools, significantly outperform Economedes High School on academic measures, suggesting that more specialized and targeted educational programs can produce much stronger outcomes, even in a high-poverty context.

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.
