Summary:

Lockney High School is a small public high school in Lockney, Texas, serving 134 students in grades 9-12. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population (79.85%) and faces unique challenges, including mixed academic performance and high poverty rates.

Despite these challenges, Lockney High School has several notable strengths, including consistently high graduation rates (100% in 2022-2023) and low dropout rates (0.6% to 0.8% in recent years), which are significantly better than the state average. However, the school's performance on STAAR End-of-Course exams is mixed, with some subjects, such as English II Reading, performing well, while others, like Biology and U.S. History, lag behind the state average. The school's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with Plainview High School and Floydada Collegiate High School generally outperforming Lockney High School on these assessments.

Lockney High School's high poverty rate, ranging from 73.13% to 78.42% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, likely contributes to the school's academic challenges. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas high schools, with a 1 or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years. This suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to address the achievement gaps between different student subgroups and improve the school's overall academic performance, potentially learning from the practices of its higher-performing neighbors in the Plainview Independent School District and Floydada Collegiate 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.
