Lytle High School

Summary:

Lytle High School is a public high school serving 487 students in grades 9-12 in Lytle, Texas, which is part of the Lytle Independent School District. The school faces significant challenges, with a low 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger and consistently ranking in the bottom half of Texas high schools.

Lytle High School's performance is concerning, with graduation rates slightly below the state average, a higher-than-average dropout rate, and significantly lower STAAR EOC proficiency rates compared to the state and district across all subject areas. The school's struggles are particularly pronounced for Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and Special Education students, who rank in the bottom 25-30% of Texas high schools. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio and increased spending per student, these investments have not translated into improved academic outcomes.

In comparison to nearby schools, such as Southwest Legacy High School, Cast STEM High School, Devine High School, and Medina Valley High School, Lytle High School's performance is generally lower, with these schools typically having higher STAAR proficiency rates, graduation rates, and overall SchoolDigger rankings. However, the school's Gifted and Talented program appears to be a bright spot, with the school ranking in the top 5% of Texas high schools in this category.

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.
