Tegeler Career Center

Summary:

Tegeler Career Center is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Pasadena, Texas, with a student population of 346. The school is part of the Pasadena Independent School District, which is ranked 562 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Tegeler Career Center faces several academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom half of Texas high schools over the past 5 years. The school's performance on STAAR end-of-course exams is generally below the district and state averages, particularly in English language arts. However, the school performs better in Algebra I, with a proficiency rate higher than the district and state. Tegeler Career Center has a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 93.1% to 94.3% in recent years, which is comparable to or higher than the nearby Pasadena Memorial High School and Sam Rayburn High School.

The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school performing relatively well for Special Education students but significantly lower for African American and White students, as well as English Language Learners and Low Socioeconomic Status students. Tegeler Career Center's high percentage of students (86.71%) from low-income families suggests the school faces significant socioeconomic challenges that may contribute to the overall academic performance issues. Addressing these challenges through targeted support, resources, and community partnerships could be crucial in improving the school's academic outcomes.

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.
