Summary:

Ben Bolt-Palito Blanco High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in Ben Bolt, Texas, with a total enrollment of 228 students. The school is part of the Agua Dulce Independent School District, which is ranked 504 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ben Bolt-Palito Blanco High School faces significant challenges, with a student population that is over 90% Hispanic and a very high percentage (over 78%) of students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Texas high schools, performing particularly poorly for female students, Hispanic students, and at-risk students. While the school's four-year graduation rate has been relatively high, ranging from 92.3% to 97.4% over the past five years, it is still slightly below the state average. Additionally, the school's STAAR test scores are significantly below the state averages across all subject areas and grade levels, with proficiency rates often less than half the state's performance.

However, the school does have some bright spots, including relatively strong performance for its special education and English Language Learner (ELL) students. When compared to nearby high schools, such as Bishop High School, Agua Dulce High School, and Santa Gertrudis Academy High School, Ben Bolt-Palito Blanco High School generally underperforms across most metrics, including test scores, graduation rates, and statewide rankings.

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.

The Teachers actually care....Its a small town school where most if not all the students are respectful...especially the athletes.. they welcome other kids without hazing or bullying..its kind of awsome to see.. A lot of pride in the community, of course there is room for improvement. Close Quote

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.
