Summary:
Chester Independent School District (ISD) in Texas has only one high school, Chester High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has a total enrollment of 135 students, with a racial makeup of 85.19% White, 1.48% African American, 4.44% Hispanic, and 8.89% two or more races. While the school's graduation rate of 95.0% is higher than the state average, its academic performance on STAAR/STAAR EOC tests is mixed, with some areas of strength but also several areas where proficiency rates are below the state level.
Chester High School's strengths include a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.7, which is lower than the state average, and a 0.0% dropout rate, which is also lower than the state average. However, the school's academic performance is a mixed bag, with reading proficiency rates above the state average in 7th grade but below in 6th and 8th grades, and math proficiency rates below the state average in all grades. The school's STAAR EOC proficiency rates are above the state average in Biology and English II Reading, but below in Algebra I, English I Reading, and U.S. History.
The high percentage of students (60%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at Chester High School indicates that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may require additional resources and support to address. While Chester High School is the only high school in the Chester ISD, it would be valuable to compare its performance to other schools in the region or state with similar demographics and socioeconomic characteristics to better understand its relative strengths and areas for improvement.
