Eastland High School

Summary:

Eastland High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Eastland, Texas, with a student population of 309. The school is part of the Eastland Independent School District, which is ranked 252 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 4-star rating.

Eastland High School is a strong performer, with consistently high graduation rates ranging from 94.7% to 100% over the past five years, significantly higher than the state average. The school also has very low dropout rates, ranging from 0% to 0.8% over the same period, lower than the state average. However, the school's academic performance is mixed, with strong results in subjects like English II Reading, U.S. History, and Biology, but struggling in Algebra I, where proficiency rates are significantly lower than the state and district averages. Compared to nearby schools like Gorman High School, Ranger High School, and Cisco High School, Eastland High School generally performs better in terms of graduation rates, dropout rates, and test scores, particularly in English II Reading and U.S. History, though Cisco High School stands out with exceptional performance, ranking among the top 5% of Texas high schools.

Eastland High School's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.5 to 10.3 over the past three years, is lower than the state average and may contribute to the school's academic performance. However, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 40.36% to 56.96% over the past three years, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. This diversity presents both challenges and opportunities for the school, and the lower performance of certain student subgroups, such as English Language Learners and Gifted and Talented students, suggests areas where the school could focus its efforts to enhance academic outcomes for all students.

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.

Open Quote This school does not teach the students to even spell properly . Simple words such as later(spelled latter) read (spelled (reed or rede) This is not a few isolated cases it is a wide ranging problem. Even in the lower levels of this school there are problems. They have absolutely no curriculum for any child that has not been through Kindergarten. They will work with the parent as long as the parent agrees with their assessment and the parent agrees to follow their curriculum. Said curriculum is to put the child into Kinderten. If a parent does not put the child into Kindergarten then the child is given the class work in the First grade to do but is not given assistance in doing it. The work is explained then the child is left to figure it out or not. They refuse to teach a child to read and write in the first grade stating it is not their job to do this. One teacher Sandy Yarborough told a man to have his babysitter teach the child to read and write. I find this approach repulsive and unproductive. 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.
