Presidio High School

Summary:

Presidio High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in the remote town of Presidio, Texas, with a student population of 391. The school is part of the Presidio Independent School District, which is ranked 806 out of 968 school districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Presidio High School's performance on STAAR EOC exams is generally lower than the state and district averages across various subjects, with proficiency rates ranging from 21.95% in Algebra I to 67.42% in U.S. History. However, the school has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 86.5% to 89.7% in recent years, and a low dropout rate of 1.7% to 2.6%. The school serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 93.09% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite the school's academic challenges, it spends approximately $13,165 per student, which is higher than the state average, and has a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio. The school's geographical isolation and the district's low ranking may contribute to the difficulties in attracting and retaining high-quality teachers and resources. Nonetheless, Presidio High School's commitment to maintaining high graduation rates and low dropout rates suggests that there is potential for improvement in academic achievement with targeted interventions and support.

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.
