The Colony High School

Summary:

The Colony High School is a public high school serving 1,895 students in grades 9-12 in The Colony, Texas, which is part of the Lewisville Independent School District. While the school has maintained a relatively high graduation rate, it has seen a decline in its statewide ranking and rating in recent years, with its performance varying significantly across different student subgroups.

The Colony High School's statewide ranking has dropped from 414 out of 1,734 Texas high schools in 2013-2014 to 1,067 out of 1,987 in 2023-2024, and its SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 4 stars to 2 stars during this period. The school's performance on STAAR tests is generally lower than the district and state averages, with only 17.84% of students proficient or better in Algebra I, compared to 54.71% for the district and 44.73% for the state. When compared to nearby high schools, such as Hebron High School and Reedy High School, The Colony High School generally performs worse on key metrics like statewide ranking, test scores, and graduation rates.

The school's higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 44.91% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different racial/ethnic groups, with Asian and White students generally outperforming their African American and Hispanic peers. Addressing these achievement gaps and ensuring equitable educational opportunities for all students should be a priority for The Colony High School and the Lewisville Independent School District.

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.
