West Texas Secondary School

Summary:

West Texas Secondary School is a public high school serving grades 6-12 in the Plemons-Stinnett-Phillips Consolidated Independent School District, located in Stinnett, Texas. With a student population of 308, the school has a predominantly White (71.75%) student body, with a significant Hispanic population (22.4%) and a small percentage of Native American students (0.97%).

One of the school's key strengths is its consistently high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 97.3% to 100% over the past five years, significantly outperforming the state average. Additionally, the school's dropout rates are exceptionally low, ranging from 0% to 0.5% during the same period, which is notably better than the state average. West Texas Secondary School also generally outperforms the state and district averages in STAAR/EOC assessments, particularly in Algebra I, English I Reading, and English II Reading. The school's student-teacher ratio is relatively low, ranging from 6.3 to 9.3 over the past three years, lower than the nearby Sanford-Fritch High School (9.0) and Borger High School (10.8).

However, the school's overall statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 560 out of 1,777 Texas high schools in 2016-2017 to 1,044 out of 1,861 in 2020-2021, suggesting inconsistent performance or external factors influencing the school's standing. Additionally, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with female students consistently outperforming male students and special education students showing strong performance in recent years. Compared to nearby schools, West Texas Secondary School generally outperforms Sanford-Fritch High School but lags behind Borger High School in some key metrics, such as Algebra I and U.S. History proficiency rates.

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.
