Elysian Fields High School

Summary:

Elysian Fields High School is a public high school in Waskom, Texas, serving 259 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Waskom Independent School District, which is ranked 291 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Elysian Fields High School has several strengths, including consistently high graduation rates (96.8% to 98.5%) and low dropout rates (0.0% to 0.7%), both of which are better than state averages. The school has also performed well on STAAR End-of-Course exams, with proficiency rates exceeding state and district averages in subjects like Biology, English I Reading, and U.S. History. Additionally, the school's Gifted and Talented program has ranked highly (top 27 out of 1,137 Texas high schools) in the past, indicating a strong focus on advanced academics.

However, the school faces some challenges as well. Its statewide ranking has declined from 334 out of 1,797 Texas high schools in 2017-2018 to 1,017 out of 1,987 in 2023-2024, despite maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school also shows some racial achievement gaps, with White students consistently outperforming African American and Hispanic students on STAAR exams. Additionally, with 39% to 53% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school's socioeconomic factors may contribute to these academic challenges. When compared to nearby high schools like Panola Early College High School and Carthage High School, Elysian Fields High School generally performs better on STAAR exams and has higher graduation rates, but the nearby schools have consistently higher statewide rankings.

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.
