Muenster High School

Summary:

Muenster High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 256 students in the small town of Muenster, Texas. This exceptional school consistently ranks among the top high schools in the state, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and an impressive 100% four-year graduation rate that far exceeds the state average.

Muenster High School's academic performance is truly outstanding, with students consistently outperforming their peers across the state on STAAR assessments. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 10-11 students per teacher suggests a personalized learning environment that contributes to its success. However, the school's predominantly white student population, with over 90% of students identifying as white, is in contrast to the more diverse nearby schools like Valley View High School and Gainesville High School. Additionally, Muenster High School serves a more affluent community, with a relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch compared to the surrounding schools.

When comparing Muenster High School to nearby schools, the differences become even more apparent. The school's exceptional academic performance, as evidenced by its high statewide rankings and STAAR assessment results, sets it apart from its neighbors. Furthermore, the school's low dropout rate of 0% and personalized learning environment, facilitated by its low student-teacher ratio, contribute to its outstanding student outcomes. While Muenster High School's lack of racial diversity may be a consideration for some families, its overall excellence, as demonstrated by its consistent 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and its position as one of the top high schools in Muenster Independent School District, make it a highly desirable choice for families in the region.

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.
