Community Services-Sec

Summary:

Community Services-Sec is a small alternative public school in Houston, Texas that serves grades PK-12 with a student population of around 90 students, predominantly Hispanic and African American.

Despite the school's low student-teacher ratio and high per-student spending, Community Services-Sec is struggling to meet the needs of its students. The school has had abysmal 4-year graduation rates, ranging from 0% to 1.9% over the past 5 years, which is significantly lower than the Houston Independent School District and state averages. Dropout rates have also been extremely high, ranging from 36% to 60.4% over the same period. Across all STAAR/EOC exams, students at Community Services-Sec perform significantly worse than their peers in the district and state, with many subjects seeing 0% of students meeting proficiency standards.

In comparison, nearby schools like Texas Connections Academy At Houston and T.H. Rogers School have much higher graduation rates, lower dropout rates, and far superior academic performance. The high poverty levels and individualized attention at Community Services-Sec suggest the school is serving a high-need population, but the poor outcomes indicate a need for drastic improvements in strategies and resource allocation to better support student success.

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.
