Royal High School

Summary:

Royal High School is a public high school located in Brookshire, Texas, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 842. The school is part of the Katy Independent School District (Isd), which is ranked 876 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($13,675 in 2020-2021) compared to nearby Katy ISD and Lamar Consolidated Independent School District schools, Royal High School consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas high schools, with a ranking between 1400-1800 out of around 1800-1900 high schools over the past decade. The school's performance is particularly low for Asian, African American, and Hispanic student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 25-50% of Texas high schools for these groups.

In contrast, the nearby Seven Lakes High School, Paetow High School, Tompkins High School, Jordan High School, and Fulshear High School consistently outperform Royal High School on academic measures, with higher rankings, test scores, and graduation rates. These schools serve more diverse student populations with lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students.

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.
