La Pryor High School

Summary:

La Pryor High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 225 students in the small town of La Pryor, Texas. The school is part of the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District, which is ranked 728 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

La Pryor High School faces significant challenges, with a student population that is predominantly Hispanic (96-98% over the past 3 years, compared to the state average of 52%) and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (83-86% over the past 3 years). The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas high schools, with a 3-star rating in the latest year and a 1-star rating in previous years. Its students consistently underperform the state average on STAAR/EOC assessments, with proficiency rates ranging from 2.27% to 73.91% in 2023-2024, while the state averages ranged from 30.55% to 69.1%. However, the school has maintained a relatively high 4-year graduation rate, ranging from 88.6% to 94.6% over the past 5 years, though its dropout rate has been higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools such as Crossroads Academy, Uvalde High School, and Crystal City High School, which also serve predominantly Hispanic student populations, La Pryor High School appears to be the lowest-performing, with the lowest school rankings and test scores. While the school has performed relatively well in serving its English Language Learner and Special Education student populations, it has struggled with its Gifted and Talented, At-Risk, and Low Socioeconomic Status student populations.

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.
