Riverside High School

Summary:

Riverside High School is a public high school serving around 1,001 students in grades 9-12 in El Paso, Texas, as part of the Ysleta Independent School District. While the district is ranked 277 out of 968 in Texas and has a 4-star rating, Riverside High School has consistently underperformed compared to both state and local standards.

Riverside High School's academic performance has ranked in the bottom half of Texas high schools over the past 10 years, with a 1 to 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school struggles particularly with its Hispanic, low-income, and gifted student populations, performing in the bottom half or third of Texas high schools for these subgroups. Additionally, Riverside High School has a slightly lower 4-year graduation rate around 85-88% and a higher dropout rate of 1.5% to 3.7% compared to state averages.

When compared to other high schools in the Ysleta district, such as Eastwood High School and Valle Verde Early College High School, Riverside High School generally underperforms on academic metrics. However, the school does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14-15 students per teacher, suggesting resources are being allocated to support students, even if outcomes have not yet met expectations. Continued focus on improving academic outcomes for all student subgroups, especially Hispanic and low-income students, could be an area of emphasis for Riverside High School and the Ysleta district.

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.
