Teague Lion Academy

Summary:

Teague Lion Academy is a small public high school in Teague, Texas, serving just 20 students in grades 9-12. As part of the Teague Independent School District, which is ranked 472 out of 968 districts in the state, Teague Lion Academy faces significant challenges in terms of its small size, low academic performance, high poverty rates, and declining enrollment and graduation rates.

With only 20 students, Teague Lion Academy is significantly smaller than the nearby Teague High School (394 students) and other surrounding high schools, which can provide more personalized attention but may limit course offerings and extracurricular activities. The school consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Texas high schools, with proficiency rates on STAAR exams that are significantly lower than district and state averages, particularly in core subjects. Additionally, Teague Lion Academy has a very high percentage of students (80-100%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When compared to other nearby high schools, such as Leon High School, Groesbeck High School, and Teague High School, Teague Lion Academy consistently ranks in the bottom tier of Texas high schools, with lower academic performance, graduation rates, and student-teacher ratios. Despite these challenges, the school spends a relatively high amount per student, suggesting the need to re-evaluate resource allocation and spending priorities to better support student learning and achievement.

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.
