Falls Career High School

Summary:

Falls Career High School is a small public high school serving grades 9-12 in Marble Falls, Texas, part of the Marble Falls Independent School District (ISD). While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, it faces several challenges, including consistently underperforming the district and state averages on academic measures.

Compared to the district's flagship Marble Falls High School, Falls Career High School has a higher percentage of White students and a lower percentage of Hispanic students. However, its academic performance is significantly lower, with only 12.5% of students proficient or better in English II Reading, compared to 55.81% in the district and 59.82% statewide. The school's graduation rates have also fluctuated, ranging from 69.8% to 91.9%, lower than the 97.8% rate at Marble Falls High School.

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.
