Fannindel High School

Summary:

Fannindel High School is a small public high school in Ladonia, Texas, serving grades 7-12 with just 64 students. Unfortunately, this school faces significant challenges, ranking in the bottom 20% of Texas high schools and struggling with low academic performance, high poverty rates, and disparities in student outcomes.

Fannindel High School's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is well below state and district averages across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 11.11% of 7th graders were proficient or better in reading, compared to the state average of 52.08%. The school also has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 84.38% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Fannindel's graduation rates have fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 84.6% to 100%, but generally remain below the state average.

When compared to nearby schools like Celeste High School, Fannindel High School consistently underperforms on academic measures, has higher poverty rates, and lower graduation rates. For example, Celeste High School, located just 17 miles away, has significantly higher STAAR test scores, a 100% graduation rate, and a lower percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. These disparities suggest the need for substantial interventions and support to improve educational outcomes for Fannindel High School's students.

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.
