Kirbyville High School

Summary:

Kirbyville High School is a public high school serving 417 students in grades 9-12 in Kirbyville, Texas, which is part of the Kirbyville Consolidated Independent School District. The school stands out for its high graduation rates, low dropout rates, and relatively high per-student spending, though its academic performance on state tests is mixed compared to nearby schools.

Kirbyville High School has a predominantly white student population, with 76.74% of students identifying as white, which is significantly higher than the more diverse student bodies at nearby schools like Jasper High School and Spurger High School. The school consistently achieves high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 94.8% to 97.7% over the past five years, and very low dropout rates of 0.2% to 0.7%. However, its performance on STAAR End-of-Course exams is mixed, with the school excelling in some subjects like English II Reading and U.S. History, but struggling in others like Algebra I.

Kirbyville High School spends more per student than the state average, with spending ranging from $10,959 to $12,045 per student over the past three years. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.2 to 12.2 over the same period. These factors suggest a focus on providing adequate resources and personalized attention for students. However, the school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 56.35% to 63.35%, indicates that it may need to continue supporting its economically disadvantaged population to ensure their academic 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.
