Pine Tree High School

Summary:

Pine Tree High School is a public high school in Longview, Texas, serving 1,319 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Longview Independent School District, which is ranked 292 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Pine Tree High School has several strengths, including consistently high graduation rates (97.9% to 98.7%) and very low dropout rates (0.0% to 0.4%), both of which are significantly better than the state averages. However, the school's performance on STAAR End-of-Course exams has been mixed, with some subjects like Biology and English II Reading performing better than the state average, while others like Algebra I and U.S. History lag behind. The school's ranking for Gifted and Talented students has improved dramatically, moving from 656 out of 1,177 Texas high schools in 2020-2021 to 51 out of 1,182 in 2022-2023, indicating a strong program for these students. The school's ranking for Special Education students has also improved, suggesting a focus on supporting these learners.

When compared to nearby high schools, Pine Tree High School generally performs better than Gladewater High School and Kilgore High School, but lags behind the higher-performing schools like Union Grove High School, White Oak High School, and Spring Hill High School. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students (over 60%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, which may contribute to some of the academic challenges the school faces.

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.
