Longview High School

Summary:

Longview High School is a public high school located in Longview, Texas, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 2,170 students. The school is part of the Longview Independent School District, which is ranked 494 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Longview High School stands out for its diverse student population, with 41.01% Hispanic, 33.18% African American, and 20.05% White students. The school has consistently maintained high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 97.9% to 99.4% over the past five years, significantly higher than the state average and many of the nearby schools. Additionally, Longview High School has very low dropout rates, ranging from 0.2% to 0.6% over the past five years, lower than the state average and most of the nearby schools. However, the school's performance on STAAR EOC tests is mixed, with strong results in some subjects like Biology and English II Reading, but lagging behind in others like Algebra I.

Longview High School's academic performance varies among different student subgroups, with the school ranking highly for White and Asian students but struggling more with African American and Hispanic students, as well as English Language Learners and students with special needs. While the school's performance is generally on par with or slightly better than the nearby schools in the Longview Independent School District, it lags behind higher-performing schools in other districts, such as Union Grove High School, New Diana High School, and Spring Hill High School. This may be due in part to the school's high percentage of students (over 80%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low socioeconomic status of the student population, as well as the school's funding and resources, which are lower than some of the higher-performing nearby schools.

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.
