Horton Disciplinary Alternative Education Program

Summary:

Horton Disciplinary Alternative Education Program is a small public high school in Weslaco, Texas that serves grades 6-12 and is part of the Weslaco Independent School District, which is ranked 594 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Horton Disciplinary Alternative Education Program is struggling significantly across nearly all metrics, performing well below state and district averages. The school has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating very poor academic performance, with 0% proficiency rates in nearly all STAAR subject tests. It also has an extremely high percentage of students (over 90%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting very high levels of poverty among the student population. Compared to other nearby schools in the Weslaco ISD, such as Weslaco High School and Weslaco 21st Century CTE Early College High School, Horton Disciplinary Alternative Education Program demonstrates significantly lower performance across test scores, graduation rates, and other key metrics.

The school's designation as a "disciplinary alternative education program" suggests it may be serving students who have been removed from the traditional school setting due to behavioral issues, which could contribute to the extremely poor academic results. The lack of progress over the past decade, with the school consistently ranking near the bottom of Texas high schools, indicates a need for a thorough evaluation of the school's programs, resources, and strategies to better support the unique needs of its student population.

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.
