Hill Country High School

Summary:

Hill Country High School is a small public high school serving grades 9-12 in the Kerrville Independent School District in Kerrville, TX, with a student population of only 42 as of the 2022-2023 school year.

While Hill Country High School has seen fluctuating academic performance over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from as high as 752 out of 1,876 Texas high schools in 2021-2022 to as low as 1,665 out of 1,857 in 2018-2019, it faces several challenges. The school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 46.15% in 2020-2021 to 80.65% in 2021-2022, suggesting a predominantly low-income student population.

When compared to nearby high schools, such as Tivy High School, Harper High School, and Comfort High School, Hill Country High School generally performs worse on academic metrics like STAAR EOC exam proficiency and graduation rates. This suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes at Hill Country High School.

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.
