Wills Point High School

Summary:

Wills Point High School is a public high school serving 803 students in grades 9-12 in Wills Point, Texas. The school is part of the Wills Point Independent School District, which is ranked 738 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wills Point High School faces several challenges, including a predominantly white student population that is becoming more diverse, with the Hispanic student population increasing from 25.68% in 2020-2021 to 31.26% in 2022-2023. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas high schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance. While the school's graduation rate is relatively high, ranging from 91.7% to 94.2% over the past five years, its STAAR EOC test scores are generally below the state and district averages, particularly in Algebra I. The school's performance also varies significantly among different racial subgroups, with white and multi-racial students performing better than African American and Hispanic students.

Compared to nearby high schools, such as Rains High School, Grand Saline High School, and Canton High School, Wills Point High School's performance is generally lower, with these schools having higher rankings, graduation rates, and test scores, particularly in subjects like Algebra I and Biology. To address these challenges, the school and district may need to focus on improving instructional practices, implementing targeted interventions for struggling students, and increasing parental and community engagement.

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.
