May High School

Summary:

May High School is a public high school located in May, Texas, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 134 students. The school is part of the Rising Star Independent School District, which is ranked 373 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

May High School's strengths include its consistently high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 95.2% to 100% over the past five years, which is above the state average. However, the school's academic performance on STAAR tests is mixed, with some subject areas exceeding state and district averages, while others fall behind. Additionally, the school faces socioeconomic challenges, with a relatively high percentage of students (54.48%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which is higher than the state average. When compared to nearby schools, such as Early High School and Comanche High School, May High School has a significantly higher percentage of White students and lower academic performance in certain subject areas.

Overall, May High School's strengths lie in its high graduation rates and low dropout rates, but the school faces challenges in terms of academic performance and socioeconomic factors. The school may need to explore targeted interventions and strategies to enhance student learning and achievement, particularly in areas where it is underperforming compared to state and district averages, as well as nearby schools.

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.
