Summary:

North Forney High School is a public high school in Forney, Texas, serving 2,502 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Forney Independent School District, which is ranked 401 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

North Forney High School faces several challenges, including declining academic performance, widening opportunity gaps, and equity concerns. The school's proficiency rates on STAAR EOC exams are consistently lower than the Forney ISD and Texas state averages across all subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rate in Algebra I was 20.79%, compared to 44.23% for Forney ISD and 44.73% for Texas. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rate has declined from 97.0% in 2019-2020 to 92.0% in 2022-2023, which is lower than the state average.

Compared to nearby high schools, such as Forney High School, North Forney High School generally underperforms in terms of academic achievement, graduation rates, and socioeconomic indicators. The school has a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students (48.64% in 2022-2023) compared to Forney High School (27.82%), suggesting the presence of an opportunity gap that may be contributing to the achievement disparities observed between the two schools. Additionally, North Forney High School has a more diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American (45.44%) and Hispanic (28.34%) students, which raises questions about equity and the potential for disproportionate academic and disciplinary outcomes for these 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.
