Junction High School

Summary:

Junction High School is a public high school serving 190 students in grades 9-12 in Junction, Texas, which is part of the Junction Independent School District (ISD). The school has maintained an impressive 100% four-year graduation rate for the past five years, significantly higher than the state average. However, the school's academic performance on STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams is mixed, with strong results in Biology and U.S. History but lower scores in Algebra I and English I/II Reading.

Junction High School has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 54.21% to 62.73% over the past three school years, indicating a significant socioeconomic need in the community. The school's spending per student has increased from $12,872 in 2018-2019 to $15,549 in 2020-2021, suggesting a focus on investing in educational resources and support for students. While the school's racial makeup has become less diverse over the past three years, with the percentage of white students increasing from 58.39% to 62.63%, the school's consistent high graduation rates and targeted academic interventions in areas of need demonstrate its commitment to supporting student success.

Overall, Junction High School has several strengths, including its exceptional graduation rates and strong performance in certain subject areas. However, the school also faces challenges, such as uneven academic achievement and high socioeconomic need, which the school is working to address through increased spending and targeted interventions. By continuing to focus on these areas, Junction High School can provide a high-quality education for its students and support their success.

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.
