San Perlita High School

Summary:

San Perlita High School is a small public high school serving around 70 students in grades 9-12 in the rural town of San Perlita, Texas. The student body is predominantly Hispanic, making up 92-93% of the population, and the school is part of the Raymondville Independent School District, which is ranked 511 out of 968 districts in the state.

Despite the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at San Perlita High School, the school has consistently maintained an exceptional 100% four-year graduation rate, significantly outperforming the state average and many nearby schools like Edcouch-Elsa H S Academy and Raymondville Options Academic Academy. The school also has very low dropout rates, ranging from 0% to 1.3% in recent years, which is lower than the state and district averages. However, the school's academic performance on STAAR End-of-Course exams is mixed, with strong results in subjects like English II Reading and U.S. History, but struggles in Algebra I with proficiency rates significantly below the state average.

Compared to other nearby schools, San Perlita High School generally outperforms in areas like graduation and dropout rates, but lags behind schools like Raymondville High School and Lyford High School in certain academic metrics. The school's small size, rural location, and high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may present unique challenges, but its exceptional graduation rates suggest that it is effectively supporting its students and helping them achieve academic success.

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.
