Gregory-Portland High School

Summary:

Gregory-Portland High School is a public high school serving 1,464 students in grades 9-12 in Portland, Texas, which is part of the Gregory-Portland Independent School District. The school has a diverse student population that is predominantly Hispanic (59.97%) and White (34.22%).

Gregory-Portland High School stands out for its consistently high graduation rates, ranging from 91.3% to 94.2% over the past five years, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school also maintains low dropout rates, between 0.7% and 2.1%, lower than the state average. However, the school's performance on STAAR End-of-Course exams is mixed, with strong results in subjects like English I Reading and U.S. History, but lower proficiency rates in Algebra I compared to state and district averages. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with African American and Gifted and Talented students performing well, but English Language Learners and Hispanic students struggling to meet state standards.

When compared to nearby schools, Gregory-Portland High School generally outperforms lower-ranked schools like Coastal Horizons Academy and Richard Milburn Academy Corpus Christi, but lags behind higher-performing schools such as Collegiate High School and Harold T. Branch Academy. The school's consistent 3-star rating from School Digger and the socioeconomic challenges faced by a significant portion of its student population (44.95% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) suggest opportunities for targeted interventions and improvements to better serve the diverse needs of its community.

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.
