New Boston High School

Summary:

New Boston High School is a public high school serving 321 students in grades 9-12 in New Boston, Texas, as part of the Redwater Independent School District. The student body is predominantly White (56.07%), with significant populations of African American (20.25%) and Hispanic (9.03%) students.

New Boston High School has several notable strengths, including consistently high four-year graduation rates (92.7% to 97.6%) and low dropout rates (0.2% to 1.4%) that outperform the state average. The school's Gifted and Talented program is also a standout, ranking among the top 10-15% of Texas high schools in this category. Additionally, the school's performance in serving its Special Education students is in the top 5-7% of Texas high schools. However, the school's academic performance on STAAR EOC exams is mixed, with strong results in subjects like Biology, English II Reading, and U.S. History, but significantly lower proficiency rates in Algebra I compared to the state and district averages.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Redwater High School, James Bowie High School, and Hooks High School, New Boston High School generally performs better in terms of graduation and dropout rates. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past several years, from a high of 652 out of 1,743 Texas high schools in 2014-2015 to a low of 1,172 out of 1,861 in 2020-2021, suggesting the need for improvement in the school's overall academic performance.

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.
