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.

Open Quote Connally could be a much better school. The kids are great and the glimpse they get of the world is so much more real than at a lot of other area schools. These kids are not going to have culture shock when they get into the "real" world because they're already in it. That's a good thing. There are also a lot of good people at the school; teachers, staff, and parents. My main complaint is that the communication is just really poor. Maybe the teachers are overwhelmed or maybe the systems they have to use are just poor. It's hard to get involved and it's hard to help your children. We also recently lost a great athletic director and a great principal and sadly, their replacements are not so much so. They show a lot of favoritism of certain kids or parents or groups. In a diverse school like Connally where there are a lot of kids who aren't probably getting the attention they deserve at home, the leaders should be more sensitive, neutral and fair. Close Quote

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.
