Tenaha Schools

Summary:

Tenaha Schools is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in Tenaha, Texas, with a diverse student population of 455. The school stands out for its impressive graduation and dropout rates, but faces challenges in academic performance compared to nearby schools.

Tenaha Schools has consistently maintained a high four-year graduation rate of 100% in the last two school years, significantly higher than the state average and surrounding schools like Shelbyville School, Joaquin Schools, Timpson School, and Gary School. The school also boasts very low dropout rates of 0% in the last four years, an impressive achievement. However, Tenaha Schools' academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally lower than the state average and the nearby schools across most grade levels and subject areas.

Tenaha Schools serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 92.09% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year, significantly higher than the surrounding schools. The school district spends more per student than the state average, at $12,945 per student in the 2020-2021 school year, and maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio. These resources and targeted interventions may be necessary to address the academic needs of Tenaha Schools' diverse and economically disadvantaged student population, and help the school district learn from the successful practices of the surrounding Shelbyville Independent School District (Isd), Joaquin Independent School District (Isd), Timpson Independent School District (Isd), and Gary Independent School District (Isd).

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.
