Tisd Child & Adolescent School

Summary:

Tisd Child & Adolescent School is a small public high school in Terrell, Texas, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of just 39 students. As part of the Terrell Independent School District, which is ranked 826 out of 968 districts in the state, Tisd Child & Adolescent School has a unique student population and significant resource allocation, but it has consistently struggled with low academic performance compared to nearby high schools.

With a higher percentage of White students (71.79%) and a ranking of 74 out of 1,837 Texas high schools for its percentage of at-risk students, Tisd Child & Adolescent School spends significantly more per student ($25,848 in 2020-2021) than the nearby Terrell High School and other surrounding schools, which spend around $10,000-$11,500 per student. Despite this higher spending and a much lower student-teacher ratio, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Texas high schools based on its statewide SchoolDigger ranking, with 0 or 1 out of 5 stars.

While Tisd Child & Adolescent School has maintained a 100% four-year graduation rate and 0% dropout rate for several years, a notable achievement, its proficiency rates on STAAR/EOC assessments are significantly lower than the district and state averages. The school's proximity to Terrell High School, the largest high school in the Terrell Independent School District, may present opportunities for collaboration or resource-sharing, which could potentially benefit the students at Tisd Child & Adolescent School.

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.
