Judson Care Academy faces significant challenges, with a student population that is predominantly Hispanic (47.12%) and African American (39.42%), and an extremely high percentage of students (98.08%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school's academic performance is consistently in the bottom 5-10% of Texas high schools, with significantly lower scores on STAAR tests compared to the district and state averages. However, the school has maintained a 0% dropout rate for the past 5 years, which is an impressive achievement.

When compared to other high schools in the area, such as Samuel Clemens High School, Karen Wagner High School, and Roosevelt High School, Judson Care Academy consistently performs at the bottom in terms of academic achievement and other key metrics. Despite these challenges, the school's low student-teacher ratio of 7.4 suggests that there may be opportunities for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.

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.
