Union Hill High School

Summary:

Union Hill High School is a public high school located in Gilmer, Texas, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 143 students. The school is part of the Union Hill Independent School District, which is ranked 727 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Union Hill High School has a predominantly white student population, with 78.32% of students identifying as white, which is significantly higher than the state average and the racial makeup of nearby schools like Harmony High School and New Diana High School. The school has maintained an impressive 100% four-year graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate for the past several years, outperforming the state averages. However, the school's test scores, as measured by the STAAR assessments, are generally lower than the state and district averages across most subject areas and grade levels.

Union Hill High School's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 320 out of 1,743 Texas high schools in 2014-2015 to a low of 1,427 out of 1,987 in the 2023-2024 school year. This suggests that the school's performance has been declining relative to other high schools in the state. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 74.83% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic 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.
