Sanger High School

Summary:

Sanger High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Sanger, Texas, with a student population of 827. The school is part of the Sanger Independent School District, which is ranked 279 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 4-star rating.

Sanger High School stands out for its consistently high graduation rates, ranging from 96.6% to 97.7% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average. The school also maintains very low dropout rates, from 0.2% to 1.0%, lower than the state and district averages. Academically, Sanger High School's test scores on the STAAR EOC exams are generally higher than the state and district averages, particularly in English I Reading, English II Reading, and U.S. History. The school has also consistently ranked in the top 10% of Texas high schools for its performance with gifted and talented students, and in the top 30% for its work with special education students.

While Sanger High School has a majority White student population, the percentage of Hispanic students has been steadily increasing, from 26.95% in 2020-2021 to 30.47% in 2022-2023. This trend is worth monitoring to ensure the school is meeting the needs of its growing Hispanic student population. Additionally, the school's performance with English Language Learner (ELL) students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds is an area of concern, with these subgroups ranking in the bottom 30% of Texas high schools in recent years. Compared to nearby schools, Sanger High School generally outperforms the Denton County JJAEP and Joe Dale Sparks Campus, but Aubrey High School and Krum High School have shown stronger performance in some areas.

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.
