Gary School

Summary:

Gary School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in the Gary Independent School District, with a student population of 493 and a predominantly white student body at 90.47%. The school has consistently maintained high graduation rates, ranging from 94.1% to 100% over the past several years, and low dropout rates, typically below 1%.

One key differentiator of Gary School is its racial makeup, which is significantly more white (90.47%) compared to the nearby Joaquin Schools (77.93%), Timpson School (58.16%), and Tenaha Schools (19.12%). Additionally, Gary School has maintained exceptionally high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 94.1% to 100%, which is significantly higher than the graduation rates of the nearby schools, which range from 98% to 100%. The school also has consistently low dropout rates, typically below 1%, lower than the dropout rates of the nearby schools, which range from 0% to 1.4%.

While Gary School generally performs better than the state and district averages on STAAR assessments, particularly in reading and English language arts, its performance in mathematics and science is more mixed, with some grades performing below the state and district averages. This suggests that the school may need to address these areas to ensure more consistent academic performance across all subject areas. Additionally, the school serves a population with lower socioeconomic status, with 49.49% to 68.76% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may impact academic performance. However, the school's commitment to investing in resources and infrastructure, as evidenced by the increase in spending per student from $10,084 in 2018-2019 to $11,049 in 2020-2021, and its focus on providing personalized attention and support to students through a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.9 to 12 students per teacher, suggest a dedication to supporting student success.

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.
