Andress High School

Summary:

Andress High School is a public high school located in El Paso, Texas, serving around 1,530 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the El Paso Independent School District, which is ranked 610 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Andress High School faces significant challenges compared to the state and nearby schools. It has a much higher Hispanic student population (around 81%) and a very high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (over 80% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch). Academically, the school consistently ranks in the bottom half of Texas high schools, with STAAR EOC proficiency rates significantly lower than the district and state averages across all subject areas. Andress High also has a lower 4-year graduation rate (around 80%) and a higher dropout rate (ranging from 2.1% to 4.4% in recent years) compared to the state average and nearby schools like Franklin High School and Transmountain Early College High School.

While Andress High School's performance is generally lower than the state and nearby schools, it does perform relatively better for certain student subgroups, such as African American and multi-racial students. However, the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and English Language Learners at the school may contribute to its academic challenges. Targeted interventions and support programs focused on these student populations could be beneficial in improving educational outcomes at Andress High 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.
