Somerville High School

Summary:

Somerville High School is a public high school in Somerville, Texas, serving grades 8-12 with a total enrollment of 199 students. The school is part of the Trinity Charter School district, which is ranked 903 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Somerville High School has a diverse student population, with 34.67% White, 21.61% African American, and 37.19% Hispanic students. However, the school consistently ranks in the bottom third of Texas high schools, with a ranking between 1,433 and 1,595 out of around 1,900-2,000 schools. Its performance on STAAR tests is significantly below the state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from around 10-60% across different subjects and grade levels. Somerville High School's four-year graduation rate has been in line with or slightly below the state average, but its dropout rate has been higher than the state average. The school also has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 63.59% to 71.86% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Round Top-Carmine High School, which consistently ranks in the top 25% of Texas high schools, Somerville High School is clearly underperforming academically. Additionally, the school's performance on STAAR tests varies significantly by student subgroup, with African American and Hispanic students often performing 20-30 percentage points worse than their White and Asian peers. This suggests that the school may need to focus on addressing achievement gaps and providing additional support for its underperforming subgroups, which could be influenced by the high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

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.
