Lone Star H S Central

Summary:

Lone Star H S Central is a public high school located in Mart, Texas, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 186 students. The school is part of the Mart Independent School District, which is ranked 957 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lone Star H S Central faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools. The school has a much higher percentage of African American (47.31%) and Hispanic (38.17%) students, and consistently ranks among the lowest-performing high schools in Texas, with proficiency rates on STAAR End-of-Course exams ranging from 0% to 30% across various subjects. The school's student groups, such as African American, Hispanic, English Language Learners, and students with low socioeconomic status, all rank in the bottom 10-15% of Texas high schools, indicating significant achievement gaps. Additionally, Lone Star H S Central has an extremely high percentage of students (over 98%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

In contrast, the nearby La Vega High School, Mart High School, and other surrounding schools generally perform better academically, with higher proficiency rates and higher statewide rankings. This suggests that the challenges faced by Lone Star H S Central may be unique to the school or the Mart Independent School District, and addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that addresses the specific needs of the school and 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.
