Academically, Seminole High School's students generally outperform their peers on STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams, particularly in subjects like Biology, English II Reading, and U.S. History, where the school's proficiency rates exceed the state averages.

Compared to the nearby Denver City High School, which is part of the Denver City Independent School District, Seminole High School generally performs better on STAAR EOC exams.

Seminole High School's student population is relatively diverse, with a significant Hispanic majority (57.65%) and a substantial White minority (40.31%), which is an asset the school can leverage. However, the school also faces challenges in supporting the success of its socioeconomically disadvantaged and minority student populations, an area that requires ongoing improvement efforts.

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.
