Tyler High School

Summary:

Tyler High School is a public high school located in Tyler, Texas, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 2,164 students. The school is part of the Tyler Independent School District, which is ranked 501 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Tyler High School stands out for its diverse student population, with a majority Hispanic (65.57%) and African American (29.48%) students, which is significantly different from the nearby Tyler Legacy High School, which has a majority White (36.97%) student population. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR EOC test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages across all subject areas, with proficiency rates ranging from 32.19% in Biology to 64.62% in U.S. History, compared to the district's 47.93% to 71.26% and the state's 44.73% to 69.10%. Despite these challenges, Tyler High School has shown consistent improvement in its four-year graduation rate, increasing from 95.4% in 2018-2019 to 98.1% in 2022-2023, and maintaining a low dropout rate of 0.1% in recent years.

The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 89.74% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, is significantly higher than the nearby Whitehouse High School, which had 57.79% of students in the same category. This suggests that Tyler High School may face unique challenges in providing a high-quality education to its diverse and economically disadvantaged student population, and that targeted interventions and support programs could help address the academic needs of these student groups and improve overall performance.

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.
