Stratford High School

Summary:

Stratford High School is a public high school in Stratford, Texas, serving 181 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Stratford Independent School District, which is ranked 308 out of 968 school districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Stratford High School has shown a mixed academic performance, with its statewide ranking ranging from 275 out of 1,734 Texas high schools in 2013-2014 to 964 out of 1,961 in 2022-2023. The school's performance on STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams is generally above the state average, but there is a concerning trend of declining proficiency in Algebra I, dropping from 50% in 2020-2021 to 26% in 2022-2023, compared to the state average of 45%. The school's graduation rate is high, ranging from 95.3% to 100% over the past few years, and its dropout rate is consistently low.

Stratford High School's performance varies across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students performing relatively well, but White students, English Language Learners, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds struggling. Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student and low student-teacher ratio, the academic performance is still mixed, suggesting that simply increasing funding and resources may not be the sole solution. The school should examine how these resources are being utilized and explore ways to optimize their impact on student learning.

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.
