S Garland High School

Summary:

S Garland High School is a public high school in Garland, Texas, serving 2,169 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Garland Independent School District, which is ranked 535 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While S Garland High School has a relatively high graduation rate, its academic performance is consistently well below the district and state averages. The school has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (80.08%) compared to nearby schools like Rowlett High School, Lakeview Centennial High School, and Garland High School, which have more diverse student populations and higher academic achievement. Additionally, S Garland High School has a very high percentage of students (87.83%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

The persistent low academic performance at S Garland High School, particularly among its Hispanic and African American student subgroups, suggests that the school may be struggling to adequately prepare its students for college and career readiness. This underscores the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of this population and improve student outcomes.

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.
