Texas High School

Summary:

Texas High School is a public high school located in Texarkana, Texas, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 1,719. The school is part of the Texarkana Independent School District, which is ranked 597 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Texas High School faces several challenges, including a diverse student population with significant performance gaps between different subgroups. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 677 out of 1,734 Texas high schools in 2013-2014 to 1,190 out of 1,987 in 2023-2024, and it is currently rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, which is lower than the state average. While White and Hispanic students perform relatively well, with rankings in the top half of Texas high schools, African American and special education students perform significantly worse, with rankings in the bottom quarter of the state. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rate has ranged from 88.2% to 94.3% over the past few years, which is generally on par with or slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate has increased from 1.0% in 2017-2018 to 2.6% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Redwater High School, Hooks High School, and Liberty-Eylau High School, Texas High School generally performs worse on standardized test scores, with lower percentages of students meeting proficiency standards in subjects like Algebra I, Biology, and English. However, the school's performance on U.S. History is more competitive. Additionally, Texas High School has a relatively high percentage of students (over 60%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families, which may contribute to the school's lower academic performance compared to more affluent nearby schools.

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.
