Fort Stockton High is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Fort Stockton, Texas, with a student population of 698 that is predominantly Hispanic. The school is part of the Fort Stockton Independent School District, which is ranked 868 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Fort Stockton High has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas high schools, with low proficiency rates on state assessments, particularly in Algebra I. The school's graduation rate is relatively high at 91-93%, but its dropout rate is higher than the state average. With around 70% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Fort Stockton High faces significant challenges due to the high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending suggest potential opportunities for targeted interventions and support programs.

Interestingly, the only nearby school in the same district, Butz Preparatory Academy, is even smaller and has an even lower academic performance than Fort Stockton High. Additionally, Fort Stockton High's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education students, while the school's Gifted and Talented students perform relatively better.

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.
