Summary:

Krum High School is a public high school serving 686 students in grades 9-12 in the town of Krum, Texas, which is part of the Denton Independent School District. The school has consistently high graduation rates, low dropout rates, and generally above-average test scores compared to the state and nearby schools.

Krum High School stands out for its high percentage of White students (62.83%) and strong performance on STAAR End-of-Course exams, particularly in subjects like Biology, English I Reading, English II Reading, and U.S. History. The school's Gifted and Talented program has also been highly ranked, placing in the top 125 out of 1,177 Texas high schools in 2020-2021.

Overall, Krum High School is a strong-performing school, but there are opportunities for improvement, particularly in addressing the uneven performance across student subgroups.

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.
