Summary:

Fredericksburg High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Fredericksburg, Texas, part of the Fredericksburg Independent School District. With a student population of 1,003, the school has consistently high graduation rates, low dropout rates, and generally above-average test scores compared to the state and district averages.

Fredericksburg High School's key strengths include its four-year graduation rates, which have ranged from 95.1% to 99.1% over the past five years, and its low dropout rates, which have been between 0.1% and 0.8% during the same period. The school's students also perform better than the state and district averages on STAAR End-of-Course exams, particularly in subjects like Biology, English I and II Reading, and U.S. History. However, there are some notable differences in the performance of specific student subgroups, with White and Gifted and Talented students tending to outperform Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Low Socioeconomic Status students.

Compared to the nearby Gillespie County High School, also part of the Fredericksburg ISD, Fredericksburg High School's performance is generally stronger, with much higher test scores and a higher statewide ranking. Over the past three years, Fredericksburg High School has seen a slight decline in its student population and a slight increase in the diversity of its racial composition, while its per-student spending has decreased, which may have implications for the school's ability to maintain its high performance levels.

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.
