Tivy High School

Summary:

Tivy High School is a public high school in Kerrville, Texas, serving 1,468 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Kerrville Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 270 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Tivy High School stands out for its consistently high graduation rates, ranging from 97.2% to 99.6% over the past few years, significantly outperforming the state average. The school also has very low dropout rates, between 0.1% and 0.3%, well below the state average. Academically, Tivy High School's students perform better than the state and district averages in several STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams, particularly in Biology, English I Reading, English II Reading, and U.S. History. For example, in 2023-2024, Tivy High School's proficiency rates were 64.38% in Biology, 62.07% in English I Reading, 60.81% in English II Reading, and 82% in U.S. History, compared to the state averages of 57.31%, 53.77%, 59.82%, and 69.1%, respectively. The school also ranks in the top 100 Texas high schools for African American students and in the top 64 for Gifted and Talented students.

While Tivy High School has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, its statewide ranking has declined from 398 out of 1,797 Texas high schools in 2017-2018 to 755 out of 1,987 in 2023-2024, suggesting the school may be facing increasing competition or challenges compared to other high-performing schools in the state. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students (47.34%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which could be a factor in its performance. When compared to nearby high schools, such as Harper High School, Tivy High School generally outperforms them in terms of graduation rates, test scores, and overall school rankings, but struggles in the rankings for certain student subgroups, such as English Language Learners and Special Education 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.

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.
