Ralls High School

Summary:

Ralls High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in the small town of Ralls, Texas. With a student population of 153, the school has a predominantly Hispanic (67.97%) and White (30.72%) student body. However, Ralls High School faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom half of Texas high schools.

Ralls High School's performance is particularly low for Hispanic, female, and low-income students, with rankings in the bottom 10-20% of Texas high schools for these subgroups. The school's STAAR EOC test scores are significantly below the state average across all subject areas, ranging from 18.75% to 44% proficiency compared to the state averages of 44.73% to 69.1%. While the school maintains a 100% four-year graduation rate, its dropout rate is not reported, making it difficult to assess how this compares to state or district averages.

Interestingly, Ralls High School's academic performance lags behind nearby Roosevelt High School and Idalou High School, which are ranked in the top 50% and top 10% of Texas high schools, respectively. Despite spending significantly more per student ($18,980) than these nearby schools, Ralls High School's higher funding does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 9.3 also suggests that it has sufficient teaching resources, but the data does not indicate why this has not resulted in improved student learning.

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.
