Gunter High School

Summary:

Gunter High School is a public high school serving 371 students in grades 9-12 in the Gunter Independent School District, which is ranked 359 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Gunter High School stands out for its consistently high graduation rates, ranging from 94.7% to 100% over the past five years, which is significantly higher than the state average and outperforms many nearby schools like Tom Bean High School and Prosper High School. The school also maintains very low dropout rates, from 0.0% to 0.6%, well below the state average. Gunter High School students perform well on STAAR End-of-Course exams, particularly in subjects like Biology, English I Reading, English II Reading, and U.S. History, where proficiency rates exceed state and district averages. However, the school struggles with Algebra I proficiency, which is significantly lower than state and district averages.

While Gunter High School is a strong-performing school overall, there are some notable disparities in the performance of different student subgroups. The school's Hispanic and low socioeconomic status students tend to perform significantly lower than their white and more affluent peers on standardized tests. Addressing these achievement gaps and improving Algebra I proficiency could help Gunter High School continue to provide an equitable, high-quality education for all students.

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.
