Victoria East High School

Summary:

Victoria East High School is a public high school in Victoria, Texas, serving 1,845 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Victoria Independent School District (VISD), which is ranked 801 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Victoria East High School faces several challenges, including lower academic performance compared to state and district averages. The school's STAAR EOC (End of Course) test scores are consistently lower than the state and district averages across all subject areas, and it has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. When compared to other high schools in the district, such as Victoria West High School, Victoria East High School generally performs worse on standardized tests and has a lower statewide ranking. Additionally, the school's performance on STAAR EOC tests varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Asian students consistently outperforming their peers, while African American, Hispanic, and economically disadvantaged students tend to have lower proficiency rates.

Despite these challenges, Victoria East High School has maintained a high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 92.3% in 2018-2019 to 97.7% in 2020-2021, and a relatively low dropout rate, ranging from 0.1% in 2019-2020 and 2021-2022 to 1.1% in 2018-2019. However, the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at the school has increased from 57.48% in 2020-2021 to 65.09% in 2022-2023, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. The school's leadership and the Victoria Independent School District should focus on addressing these areas to improve student outcomes and provide a more equitable education for all students.

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.
