Lone Star H S North

Summary:

Lone Star H S North is a small public high school in Gainesville, Texas, serving grades 8-12 with just 108 students. Despite its diverse student population, the school consistently ranks among the lowest-performing high schools in the state, with academic performance well below the state and district averages.

Lone Star H S North stands out for its high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 97% to 97.25% over the past three years. This is significantly higher than nearby schools like Pilot Point High School, Muenster High School, and Lindsay High School, which have lower free and reduced lunch rates. The school's diverse racial makeup, with 37.96% White, 32.41% African American, and 28.7% Hispanic students, also sets it apart from the nearby schools, which tend to have a higher percentage of White students.

Lone Star H S North's academic performance is a major concern, with the school consistently ranking between 1745 and 1920 out of 1987 high schools in Texas over the past several years. The school's STAAR assessment proficiency rates are dismal, with 0% proficiency in most subject areas. This is a stark contrast to the higher-performing Pilot Point Independent School District and Lindsay Independent School District, which serve nearby communities. The school's declining statewide ranking and significant achievement gaps for its African American and Hispanic students suggest that substantial interventions and support are needed to improve educational outcomes for the students of Lone Star H S North.

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.
