Lit Cypr-Mrceville High School

Summary:

Lit Cypr-Mrceville High School is a public high school located in Orange, Texas, serving 1,014 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Port Neches-Groves Independent School District, which is ranked 735 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school maintains strong graduation rates and low dropout rates, it faces several challenges. Lit Cypr-Mrceville High School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Texas high schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Asian students performing exceptionally well, ranking in the top 3-5% of Texas high schools, while white, multi-racial, and English Language Learner students rank in the bottom 10-20%. Compared to nearby high schools, such as Nederland High School and West Orange-Stark High School, Lit Cypr-Mrceville High School generally performs worse on STAAR EOC tests, with lower proficiency rates in subjects like Algebra I, Biology, and U.S. History.

However, the school's per-student spending has increased over the past few years, and its student-teacher ratio has improved, suggesting that the Port Neches-Groves Independent School District is investing resources to support the school's operations and address these challenges. Additionally, the school's strong graduation rates and low dropout rates are positive indicators of its overall performance, despite its relatively low statewide ranking.

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.
