Post High School

Summary:

Post High School is a public high school located in Post, Texas, serving 217 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Post Independent School District, which is ranked 892 out of 968 school districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Post High School has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, its academic performance has seen a steady decline in recent years. The school's statewide ranking has dropped from 407 out of 1,861 Texas high schools in 2020-2021 to 1,605 out of 1,987 in 2023-2024, and its STAAR EOC test scores are generally lower than the state averages across all subject areas. Additionally, the school's dropout rate has fluctuated, reaching as high as 2.7% in 2020-2021.

Further analysis reveals that the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with male students consistently outperforming female students, and English Language Learners and Special Education students showing mixed results compared to their peers. The high percentage of students (around 60%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch also indicates that the school community faces significant socioeconomic challenges, which may impact student learning and engagement.

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.
