Elkhart High School

Summary:

Elkhart High School is a public high school in Elkhart, Texas, serving 315 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Elkhart Independent School District, which is ranked 303 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Elkhart High School is a strong-performing school, with a 100% four-year graduation rate for the past three years, significantly outpacing the state average. The school also boasts low dropout rates, below 0.5% for several years, and a robust Gifted and Talented program that ranks in the top 223 out of 1,182 Texas high schools. However, the school's performance across different student subgroups is more mixed, with the school ranking highly for Hispanic and female students but struggling with African American and special education populations.

Compared to nearby schools, Elkhart High School generally outperforms Latexo High School and Oakwood High School in academic performance and graduation rates, but lags behind the higher-ranked Neches High School and Slocum High School in the region. The school's relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 46.98% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, may contribute to some of the performance gaps observed across student subgroups.

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.
