Kerens School

Summary:

Kerens School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in Kerens, Texas, with a diverse student population of 570. The school stands out for its consistently high 100% four-year graduation rate, significantly outpacing the state average, as well as its low 0% dropout rate over the past five years.

While Kerens School's overall academic performance on STAAR tests is mixed compared to state and district averages, the school excels in certain areas, such as 3rd grade reading and math, where proficiency rates exceed the state average. Additionally, the school serves a high percentage (76.14%) of economically disadvantaged students, which is reflected in its increased per-student spending, suggesting a focus on addressing the unique needs of its student population.

When compared to nearby alternative schools, such as Malakoff Alternative Program (MAP) and Trinidad School, Kerens School stands out for its larger student population, higher graduation rates, and generally stronger academic performance, particularly in STAAR test scores. This suggests that Kerens School may be better equipped to provide a more comprehensive educational experience for its students within the Malakoff Independent School District and the Trinidad Independent School District.

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.
