Stephenville High School stands out for its diverse student population, with 57.85% White, 36.91% Hispanic, and smaller percentages of other racial groups. This diversity is higher compared to nearby schools like Hico High School (73.79% White) and De Leon High School (60.09% White). The school also maintains consistently high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 95.7% to 98.6% over the past five years, significantly higher than the state average.

While Stephenville High School has a diverse student population, there are some achievement gaps between racial groups. For example, in 2022-2023, the proficiency rate in Algebra I was 42% for the overall school, but only 27% for Hispanic students and 31% for African American students. However, the school's performance relative to nearby schools, such as Hico High School, De Leon High School, and Three Way High School, highlights its strengths, and its ability to support the success of students from various backgrounds, including a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, is noteworthy.

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.
