Lamar High School

Summary:

Lamar High School is a public magnet high school in Houston, Texas, serving 3,125 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Houston Independent School District, which is ranked 572 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lamar High School stands out for its diverse student population, with 40.45% Hispanic, 27.78% African American, 22.78% White, and 5.34% Asian students. The school has maintained strong graduation rates, ranging from 90.7% to 95.0% over the past five years, higher than district and state averages. However, Lamar's performance on STAAR End-of-Course exams is mixed, with the school performing better in subjects like Biology and U.S. History but lagging behind in Algebra I. Additionally, the school has a significant population of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 49.31% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Compared to nearby magnet schools like Debakey H S For Health Prof and Carnegie Vanguard High School, which consistently rank among the top high schools in the state, Lamar High School's performance has declined in recent years, from a high of 339 out of 1,734 Texas high schools in 2013-2014 to 910 out of 1,987 in 2023-2024. This suggests the school may be facing challenges in maintaining its academic performance, particularly for certain student subgroups like African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Gifted and Talented 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.
