Leggett High School

Summary:

Leggett High School is a small public high school in Leggett, Texas, serving grades 7-12 with just 80 students. While the school maintains a high graduation rate, it struggles with lower test scores and declining performance compared to nearby schools like Chester High School, Goodrich High School, and Onalaska Junior/Senior High.

Leggett High School has a higher percentage of White and African American students compared to the more diverse surrounding schools. The school maintains strong graduation rates, ranging from 90.9% to 100% in recent years, but its test scores on STAAR assessments are generally lower than state and district averages, particularly in mathematics. Additionally, 86.25% of Leggett High School students come from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, which may contribute to the school's academic challenges.

Over the years, Leggett High School's statewide ranking has declined, from 1178 out of 1734 Texas high schools in 2013-2014 to 1304 out of 1861 in 2020-2021. This suggests the school is struggling to keep up with the performance of other high schools in the state. The school's funding per student has also decreased, from $15,100 in 2018-2019 to $12,579 in 2020-2021, which may be impacting its ability to provide resources and support for its students. To improve student outcomes, Leggett High School will need to address these challenges and work to better serve the Leggett community.

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.
