Juvenile Detention Center

Summary:

The Juvenile Detention Center in Sinton, Texas, is a specialized public high school serving just 10 students in grades 8-12, part of the Sinton Independent School District. While the school maintains a consistent zero dropout rate, its academic performance lags significantly behind nearby high schools like Sinton High School.

With an enrollment of only 10 students, the Juvenile Detention Center has the smallest student body among the schools analyzed, likely due to its specialized nature as a detention center. The school's academic performance is also concerning, ranking 1891 out of 1987 Texas high schools and with a 0% STAAR EOC/Algebra I proficiency rate, far below the district and state averages. However, the school's high spending per student of $26,447, compared to the district average of $11,955 and the state average of $12,221, suggests a focus on individualized support, as evidenced by its low student-teacher ratio ranging from 2:1 to 6:1.

The Juvenile Detention Center's student population is also noteworthy, with a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (70% receiving free or reduced-price lunch) and a fluctuating racial makeup, ranging from 50% to 83.33% Hispanic students and 10% to 50% White students. While the school's consistent zero dropout rate is a positive outcome, the stark contrast in academic performance and resource allocation compared to nearby high schools highlights the unique challenges and opportunities inherent in serving students within the juvenile justice system.

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.
