Fort Bend County Alter

Summary:

Fort Bend County Alter is a small public high school serving grades 7-12 in Rosharon, Texas, with a diverse student population of just 26 students. This school stands out from its larger neighboring high schools in several key ways.

First, Fort Bend County Alter's tiny size translates to an exceptionally low student-teacher ratio of 3.4, compared to ratios of 14-19.6 at other area schools like Lawrence E Elkins High School and Manvel High School. However, this small school has struggled academically, with 0% of students proficient in key STAAR exams, placing it in the bottom 2% of Texas high schools. Interestingly, Fort Bend County Alter has maintained a 0% dropout rate, an impressive achievement compared to the higher dropout rates at nearby schools.

Another notable difference is Fort Bend County Alter's high per-student spending of over $28,000, significantly more than the $8,410-$13,230 spent per student at other Fort Bend Independent School District high schools. This suggests the school may be well-positioned to implement targeted interventions, though its consistently low performance indicates such efforts have not yet been effective. Nearby Yes Prep Public Schools charter school, with a similar small size and high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, has maintained better academic outcomes, offering a potential model for improvement.

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.
