Splendora High School

Summary:

Splendora High School is a public high school serving 1,344 students in grades 9-12 in Splendora, Texas, which is part of the Splendora Independent School District. The school faces significant academic challenges, with consistently low rankings compared to other Texas high schools and subpar performance on state standardized tests.

Splendora High School's academic performance lags behind many nearby high-performing schools, such as Kingwood High School, Kingwood Park High School, and Caney Creek High School, which are all ranked significantly higher and have better results on state exams. However, Splendora High School does outperform some other nearby schools, such as Cleveland High School and Frederick A. Douglass Learning Academy, which have even lower rankings and test scores.

Splendora High School's struggles are compounded by its high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with around 60% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Additionally, the school faces persistent achievement gaps among different racial and ethnic groups, with African American and Hispanic students generally performing better than their White peers on state exams. To improve student outcomes, the school and Splendora Independent School District may need to implement targeted interventions, allocate additional resources, and focus on addressing the unique needs of their diverse student population.

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.
