Reagan County High School

Summary:

Reagan County High School is a small public high school in Big Lake, Texas, serving 226 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Reagan County Independent School District, which is ranked 688 out of 968 school districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Reagan County High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas high schools, with a 2-star rating for the 2023-2024 school year. The school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR EOC exam proficiency rates, is generally below the state average across all subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 43.4% in Biology to 55% in English I Reading, compared to the state averages of 57.31% and 53.77%, respectively.

While the school has maintained relatively high four-year graduation rates, its dropout rates have been higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with White students performing significantly better than their Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) peers. The school's high percentage of low-income students and the corresponding lower academic performance suggest that targeted interventions and support may be necessary to improve equity and access to quality education.

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.
