Juvenile Detention Center

Summary:

The Juvenile Detention Center in Seguin, TX is a public high school serving grades 7-12, with a total enrollment of just 21 students. As part of the Seguin Independent School District, which is ranked 795 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, the Juvenile Detention Center stands out as an outlier with significantly worse performance across key metrics compared to nearby schools.

The school has had a 0% four-year graduation rate for the past 5 school years, which is significantly lower than the state and district averages.

Across all STAAR subject tests, the Juvenile Detention Center has consistently scored 0% proficient or better, far below the Seguin ISD and Texas state averages. The student population also has a higher percentage of Hispanic and African American students, as well as a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, compared to surrounding schools like Seguin High School and Canyon High School.

These stark contrasts suggest that students at the Juvenile Detention Center face unique challenges that may be hindering their academic success, likely due to the nature of the facility and the circumstances that led to their incarceration. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive, collaborative approach between the school, the district, and the broader community to provide the necessary support and resources to help these students succeed academically and break the cycle of incarceration.

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.
