Boysville

Boysville is a small public charter high school in Converse, Texas, serving grades 6-12 with just 14 students. As part of the University of Texas University Charter School District, which is ranked 917 out of 968 districts in the state, Boysville faces significant challenges compared to the surrounding schools.

Boysville's student population is predominantly Hispanic (64.29%), which is higher than the more diverse racial compositions of nearby schools like Karen Wagner High School, Idea Judson College Preparatory, and Samuel Clemens High School. Academically, Boysville's performance is significantly lower than its peers, with 0% proficiency in Algebra I, 17% in Biology, and 22% in English I Reading, compared to higher scores at the surrounding schools. Boysville ranks 1817 out of 1961 Texas high schools, placing it in the bottom 8% statewide, and its rankings for specific student groups, such as female, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status students, are all in the bottom 10% of Texas high schools.

While Boysville's small size of 14 students and low 7:1 student-teacher ratio may present unique challenges, the school's consistently low academic performance and lack of diversity suggest that significant improvements are needed to better serve its students and community. Compared to the higher-performing Judson Independent School District, Idea Public Schools, and other nearby districts, Boysville appears to be struggling and may need to implement comprehensive strategies to address equity and access issues for all its students.
