Notably, the student body at Progreso High School is 100% Hispanic, significantly higher than the state average.

Academically, Progreso High School consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Texas high schools, with proficiency rates on STAAR End-of-Course exams ranging from just 15.66% in Algebra I to 48.06% in English II Reading - well below state and district averages. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 86.7% to 88.8% is also lower than the state average, and its dropout rate of 2.4% to 5.2% is higher. Additionally, all students at Progreso High School come from low-income households, with a 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate.

For example, Idea Weslaco Pike College Preparatory, a public charter school just 5 miles away, outperforms Progreso High School on STAAR exams by a significant margin, with proficiency rates ranging from 15.52% to 84.15%. Progreso High School also struggles to serve its most vulnerable student subgroups, such as English Language Learners and Special Education students, who rank in the bottom 10-15% of Texas high schools in their respective categories. Addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve the school's overall effectiveness and student outcomes.

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.
