Lufkin High School

Summary:

Lufkin High School is a public high school in Lufkin, Texas, serving 2,135 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Lufkin Independent School District, which is ranked 719 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lufkin High School has a diverse student population, with 44.96% Hispanic, 27.26% African American, and 24.73% White students. This racial composition is notably different from some nearby schools, such as Central High School and Huntington High School, which have a higher percentage of White students. Lufkin High School has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 94.2% to 97.3% over the past five years, which is higher than the graduation rates of the nearby Stubblefield Learning Center and Juvenile Detent Center. However, the school's performance on STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams has been mixed, with strong results in Biology and U.S. History but struggles in Algebra I.

Lufkin High School faces unique challenges, including a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 84.78% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This is significantly higher than the nearby Central High School and Huntington High School, which have lower percentages of students from low-income families. Additionally, the school's performance on STAAR EOC exams varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Asian and White students outperforming African American and Hispanic students. To address these challenges, Lufkin High School may need to implement targeted interventions, allocate resources effectively, and collaborate with nearby schools to improve student outcomes and provide a high-quality education for all its 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.
