Aransas Pass High School

Summary:

Aransas Pass High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Aransas Pass, Texas, with a student population of 457. While the school has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Texas high schools, there are some key insights that parents should know about this institution.

One notable factor is the school's racial makeup, which has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (around 67%) compared to the state average and nearby schools like Port Aransas High School. Additionally, Aransas Pass High School has seen a decline in its 4-year graduation rates, dropping from 97.2% in 2019-2020 to 92.2% in 2022-2023, though this is still above the state average. Academically, the school consistently underperforms the state and Corpus Christi Independent School District averages on STAAR End-of-Course exams, with proficiency rates ranging from 32.32% in Algebra I to 64.95% in U.S. History, compared to the state averages of 44.73% and 69.1%, respectively.

Interestingly, Aransas Pass High School's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students tending to perform better than the school's overall average, while White students and English Language Learners consistently underperform. When compared to nearby high-performing schools like Port Aransas High School and Gregory-Portland High School, Aransas Pass High School lags behind in key metrics such as test scores and graduation rates, despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12:1. Addressing these challenges will be crucial for improving the overall quality of education at Aransas Pass High School.

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.
