Goliad High School

Summary:

Goliad High School is a public high school in Goliad, Texas, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 405. The school is part of the Goliad Independent School District, which is ranked 388 out of 968 school districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Goliad High School stands out for its consistently high graduation rates, ranging from 95.3% to 99.0% over the past five years, significantly higher than the state average. The school also maintains very low dropout rates, from 0.0% to 1.0%, well below the state average. On STAAR EOC exams, the school's performance is generally on par with or above the district and state averages, with particular strengths in Biology, English I Reading, English II Reading, and U.S. History.

While Goliad High School serves a diverse student population, with a significant Hispanic student body, the school's performance on STAAR EOC exams varies across racial/ethnic groups. The school's gifted and talented students have performed exceptionally well, ranking in the top 13% of Texas high schools in recent years. However, the performance of students in special education and English language learner programs has been more mixed, with special education students ranking in the bottom 30% of Texas high schools in 2021-2022. The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 44.57% to 49.34%, suggests it serves a significant population of students from low-income families, which may impact academic performance and other 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.
