Summary:

Queen City High School is a public high school serving 296 students in grades 9-12 in Queen City, Texas, a predominantly White community. The school has consistently maintained high graduation rates and low dropout rates, but faces challenges in addressing racial disparities in academic performance and improving test scores, particularly in Algebra I.

Queen City High School's strengths include its Gifted and Talented program, which ranks in the top 18% of Texas high schools, and its higher spending per student compared to the state average. However, the school's performance for Special Education and At-Risk student groups is relatively low, and its statewide ranking has declined in recent years, from 282 out of 1,762 Texas high schools in 2015-2016 to 902 out of 1,987 in the most recent 2023-2024 school year.

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.
