Austin Academic Center

Summary:

Austin Academic Center is a small high school in Sulphur Springs, Texas, serving just 17 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Sulphur Springs Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 436 out of 968 school districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Austin Academic Center has a significantly higher percentage of White students (76.47%) compared to surrounding schools, its academic performance is mixed. The school performed well on the U.S. History STAAR EOC exam, with 88% of students proficient or better, but struggled in other subjects like Biology (20% proficient or better) and English I Reading (0% proficient or better). Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (70.59% receive free or reduced-price lunch), which likely contributes to its academic challenges. However, the school's low student-teacher ratio of 5.4 could allow for more personalized attention.

Compared to the Sulphur Springs ISD and the state of Texas, Austin Academic Center's overall performance on STAAR EOC exams is generally lower, indicating that the school is struggling academically. The school also has a high dropout rate of 20%, which is significantly higher than surrounding schools like Sulphur Springs High School, Rains High School, and Cooper High School. However, the school ranks relatively high (307 out of 1913 Texas high schools) for male students, suggesting that it may be more effective in supporting certain student subgroups.

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.
