Kress High School

Summary:

Kress High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in Kress, Texas, with a total enrollment of 145 students. The school is part of the Kress Independent School District, which is ranked 593 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kress High School has a diverse student population, with 55.17% Hispanic, 35.86% White, and 8.28% African American students. This racial makeup is notably different from nearby Plainview High School, which has a much higher Hispanic population at 82.25%. Academically, Kress High School has shown mixed performance on STAAR tests, excelling in some subjects like 7th grade reading and U.S. History, but struggling in others like 8th grade math and Algebra I. However, the school has maintained high graduation rates, ranging from 92.3% to 100% over the past five years, which is higher than the nearby Plainview High School at 91.9%.

Despite the school's relatively high spending per student, ranging from $13,042 to $14,651 over the past three years, Kress High School's academic performance has fluctuated, with its statewide ranking declining from 663 out of 1,797 Texas high schools in 2017-2018 to 1,096 out of 1,987 in 2023-2024. This decline suggests the school may be facing challenges in maintaining its academic performance compared to other schools in the state. Additionally, the school's high proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 60.69% to 68.66% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to its academic 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.
