Summary:

Academically, Baird High School has seen fluctuating performance, with its statewide ranking ranging from 607 out of 1,876 Texas high schools in 2021-2022 to 1,083 out of 1,987 in 2023-2024, and a 2-3 star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates on STAAR tests are generally below the state average, particularly in subjects like Mathematics and Social Studies. Baird High School's four-year graduation rate has also declined from 95.5% in 2019-2020 to 85.0% in 2022-2023. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with male students generally outperforming female students and Hispanic students performing significantly lower than White students.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Academy for Technology, Engineering, Math & Science and Eula High School, Baird High School consistently underperforms on academic measures, with lower proficiency rates and statewide rankings. These nearby schools also have lower percentages of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, which may contribute to their stronger academic performance. While Baird High School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, this does not seem to translate into significantly better academic outcomes for the 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.
