Summary:

Lapoynor High School is a public high school located in Larue, Texas, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 186 students. The school is part of the Lapoynor Independent School District, which is ranked 587 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lapoynor High School stands out for its consistently high performance, with a 100% four-year graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate for the past five school years. The school also generally performs better than the state average on STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams, particularly in English I Reading, English II Reading, and U.S. History. However, the school's performance in Algebra I and Biology is more mixed, with scores sometimes below the state average. Compared to nearby schools, Lapoynor High School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (77.42%) and a lower percentage of Hispanic students (12.37%), which could suggest less racial diversity in the local community. Additionally, the school has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (44.09%) than the nearby schools, indicating that it may face greater socioeconomic challenges.

When comparing Lapoynor High School to the nearby schools, it stands out for its consistently high graduation and low dropout rates, but its academic performance is more uneven. For example, Bullard High School and Neches High School have higher overall rankings and stronger performance on STAAR EOC exams, while Athens High School has a significantly lower overall ranking and performance. Lapoynor High School's racial makeup and socioeconomic challenges may be areas for further investigation and potential improvement.

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.
