New Waverly High School

Summary:

New Waverly High School is a public high school serving 333 students in grades 9-12 in the Montgomery Independent School District in New Waverly, Texas. The school has a diverse student population, with a predominantly White (67.27%) student body, followed by African American (14.71%) and Hispanic (13.81%) students.

New Waverly High School has several strengths, including consistently high four-year graduation rates ranging from 93.2% to 96.9% over the past five years, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school also performs above the state average in several subject areas on the STAAR EOC (End of Course) tests, such as Biology, English I Reading, English II Reading, and U.S. History. However, the school lags behind in Algebra I, and its performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with lower outcomes for English Language Learners, special education students, and at-risk students.

When compared to nearby high schools, New Waverly High School generally performs better than lower-ranked schools like Booker T. Washington High School and Thomas Buzbee Vocational School, but falls behind higher-performing schools such as Lake Creek High School and Texas Online Preparatory High School. Despite spending significantly more per student ($14,666 in 2020-2021) compared to these higher-performing schools, New Waverly High School's performance suggests that factors beyond just funding and resources may be contributing to its challenges.

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.
