Saginaw High School

Summary:

Saginaw High School is a public high school serving 2,194 students in grades 9-12 in Saginaw, Texas, which is part of the Eagle Mt-Saginaw Independent School District. The school has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic, African American, and Asian students compared to some nearby schools like Chisholm Trail High School and Boswell High School.

Saginaw High School has consistently high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 95.9% to 98.0% over the past few years, which are above the state average. However, the school's STAAR EOC test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in Algebra I and Biology, though it performs better in English I Reading, English II Reading, and U.S. History. Additionally, Saginaw High School has a higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 49.09% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, compared to nearby schools like Fossil Ridge High School (37.06%) and Diamond Hill-Jarvis High School (32.3%).

Saginaw High School's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 462 out of 1,857 Texas high schools in 2018-2019 to 963 out of 1,987 in 2023-2024, suggesting the school may be struggling to keep up with the performance of other high schools in the state. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with relatively low rankings for Asian and Gifted and Talented students, but better performance for African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students compared to other schools in the state. To improve, Saginaw High School could focus on addressing these achievement gaps and enhancing its performance in Algebra I and Biology.

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.
