Irving High School

Summary:

Irving High School is a public high school serving 2,519 students in grades 9-12 in Irving, Texas, which is part of the Irving Independent School District. The school faces significant challenges, with a student population that is 83.76% Hispanic and a high percentage (85.55%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

Academically, Irving High School consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas high schools, with performance on STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams significantly below the state and district averages across all subjects. The school's four-year graduation rate has declined from 95.3% in 2019-2020 to 89.5% in 2022-2023, which is lower than the state average. In comparison, nearby schools like Jack E Singley Academy, MacArthur High School, and Nimitz High School all perform significantly better on academic measures, graduation rates, and STAAR EOC exams.

The school's performance also varies significantly by student subgroup, with Asian and African American students performing better than Hispanic and White students on STAAR EOC exams. However, the school's performance for Native American, Economically Disadvantaged, and English Language Learner students is among the lowest in the state. Addressing these disparities and improving the overall academic outcomes at Irving High School should be a priority for the Irving Independent School District and the 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.
