Robstown Early College High School

Summary:

Robstown Early College High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Robstown, Texas, with a student population of 741. The school is part of the Robstown Independent School District, which is ranked 920 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The student body is predominantly Hispanic, at around 98% in recent years.

Robstown Early College High School faces significant challenges, with consistently low statewide rankings, test scores, and socioeconomic indicators compared to both the state and nearby high-performing schools like London High School, Agua Dulce High School, and Calallen High School. The school has ranked in the bottom 20% of Texas high schools over the past 10 years and maintains a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, the school's relatively high graduation rates, ranging from 89.4% to 96.5% in recent years, and low dropout rates, from 0.4% to 1.1%, are positive signs.

Robstown Early College High School's performance on STAAR EOC tests is significantly below the state averages across all subject areas, with proficiency rates ranging from around 13% to 54% compared to the state's 45% to 71% proficiency. The school also has a very high percentage of students, around 85-90%, who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. While the school's support for Gifted and Talented students is a strength, addressing the school's resource and funding challenges, as well as implementing targeted interventions for its underperforming student subgroups, could be key areas for improvement.

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.
