Avalos P-Technical School

Q: Is Avalos P-Technical School a good school?

Avalos P-Technical School ranks 299 th of 1987 Texas high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Avalos P-Technical School is a public high school in Houston, Texas, serving 452 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Aldine Independent School District, which is ranked 790 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Avalos P-Technical School stands out for its strong academic performance, consistently outperforming the district and state in STAAR EOC (End of Course) exam proficiency rates across subjects like Algebra I, Biology, and English. The school also excels in serving specific student subgroups, ranking highly for African American, Hispanic, and low-income students. Additionally, Avalos P-Technical School maintains low dropout rates, ranging from 0.4% to 0.8% over the past three years, significantly lower than district and state averages.

When compared to other high schools in the Aldine Independent School District, Avalos P-Technical School outperforms Aldine High School and Hall Success Academy in academic performance and student group rankings. However, Blanson CTE High School, a nearby school, also demonstrates strong academic performance, with higher proficiency rates in several STAAR EOC exams. Despite these strengths, Avalos P-Technical School faces challenges in maintaining its student-teacher ratio and serving a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

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.
