Hitchcock High School

Summary:

Hitchcock High School is a public high school in Hitchcock, Texas, serving 470 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Texas City Independent School District, which is ranked 884 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hitchcock High School stands out for its diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American (37.66%) and Hispanic (34.47%) students compared to nearby schools. However, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas high schools, with a 1-star rating, significantly lower than the 4-star rating of Clear Falls High School. Despite this, Hitchcock High School maintains high graduation rates, ranging from 95.2% to 98.1%, and low dropout rates, from 0.2% to 1.0%, both better than the state averages. The school's test scores on the STAAR EOC exams are generally lower than state and district averages, except for U.S. History, where the school's performance is closer to the state average.

Hitchcock High School spends more per student ($14,693 to $17,337) compared to Clear Falls High School ($9,011), but this higher spending does not seem to translate into higher academic performance. The school also has a high percentage of students (over 70%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting the need for additional support and resources to address the unique needs of its economically disadvantaged student population.

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.
