West Hardin High School

Summary:

West Hardin High School is a public high school in Saratoga, Texas, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 270 students. The school is part of the Hardin-Jefferson Independent School District, which is ranked 643 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

West Hardin High School has a predominantly white student population, with 92.59% of students identifying as white in the 2022-2023 school year. This is significantly higher than the state average and the racial makeup of nearby schools like New Ae, Liberty High School, and Kountze High School. The school has consistently high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 92.9% to 97.6% over the past few years, which is above the state average and higher than some of the nearby schools. However, the school's STAAR test scores are generally below the state average, particularly in mathematics and social studies, and its gifted and talented program is not as highly ranked as some of the nearby schools.

Compared to other schools in the area, such as Hardin-Jefferson High School, Hardin High School, and Hull-Daisetta High School, West Hardin High School generally performs worse on STAAR tests, particularly in mathematics and social studies. This could suggest that the school may need to focus on improving its curriculum and instructional practices in these subject areas. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which can be a proxy for low socioeconomic status and may be a contributing factor to the school's 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.
