Summary:

Gorman High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Gorman, Texas, with a student population of 82. The school is part of the Gorman Independent School District, which is ranked 642 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Gorman High School has several notable strengths, including consistently high four-year graduation rates ranging from 96.8% to 100%, which are significantly higher than the state average. The school also has very low dropout rates, ranging from 0% to 1.1% over the past few years, lower than the state average. However, the school's performance on STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams is mixed, with strong results in subjects like English II Reading and U.S. History, but struggling in Algebra I, where proficiency rates are significantly lower than the state and district. Interestingly, the school's Hispanic students consistently outperform their White counterparts on these exams, ranking much higher in the state.

Compared to nearby schools like De Leon High School, Gorman High School generally performs better in terms of graduation and dropout rates, but lags behind in some academic areas, such as Algebra I proficiency. Gorman High School also spends significantly more per student ($21,894 in 2020-2021) compared to nearby schools, which may be a contributing factor to its academic performance, though the school still struggles in certain areas, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving 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.
