The school's racial makeup is predominantly African American (49.28%) and White (37.68%), with smaller percentages of Hispanic (8.7%) and students of two or more races (4.35%).

Despite its small size, Options Early Graduation High School faces significant challenges. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Texas high schools over the past decade, receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. While the school's four-year graduation rate has improved, it still lags behind the Texarkana Independent School District and state averages. Additionally, the school has relatively high dropout rates compared to the district and state. Academically, Options Early Graduation High School's proficiency rates on STAAR EOC exams are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all subject areas, particularly for African American and Hispanic students, as well as students with special education needs and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

When compared to nearby high schools, such as Texas High School, Hooks High School, and Pleasant Grove High School, Options Early Graduation High School performs significantly worse across various metrics, including academic achievement, graduation rates, and dropout rates. The school's small size and high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds may contribute to the challenges it faces in improving student outcomes.

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.
