US high schools reporting SAT/ACT participation

Source: federal Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC 2020-21). Volume — not score — is what's reported here. A higher count means more students at this school are entering the college admissions pipeline. Note: 2020-21 was COVID-disrupted; some districts (especially those that stayed remote longer) report unusually low or zero takers.

👩‍🏫 Teacher workforce · federal CRDC

Teacher experience & reliability

% inexperienced teachers (1st-2nd yr)
15.6%
Typical mix. Watch the trend — high turnover can compound.
% chronic teacher absence (≥10 days/yr)
15.1%
Elevated. Teacher absence directly affects classroom continuity and student outcomes.

Source: federal Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC 2017-18 — the most recent vintage that publishes per-school teacher quality fields; the 2020-21 sweep had them suppressed). "Inexperienced" = teachers in their first or second year. "Chronic absence" = teachers absent 10+ days/year.

🏛️ Federal Title I context

Lower-need school

Not Title I eligible (FRPL < 25%)

24.1%
FRPL rate — % of students who qualify for the federal Free or Reduced-Price Lunch program. This is the underlying federal income-eligibility signal Title I designations are computed from (ESEA Sec. 1113).
0% (no FRPL) 35% TA · 40% Schoolwide 100% (universal FRPL)

<25% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch. Well below the Title I threshold; expect a higher-income student body on average.

Source: NCES Common Core of Data, free/reduced-price lunch eligibility. The actual Title I designation is a district decision and may differ from eligibility — but the federal eligibility math is what we show here. We don't claim to assert whether the district formally chose to enroll this school in Title I.

⭐ Texas School Quality

How TEA grades this school: CCMR + A-F accountability.

Two cohort-level signals TEA publishes for every Texas public high school: the share of graduates ready for college, career, or military service (CCMR), and the state's official A-F accountability grade.

What counts as CCMR-ready? →

Under TEA TAPR Domain 4, a graduate counts as CCMR-ready if they meet any one of: a qualifying SAT/ACT score; a qualifying TSI assessment; AP/IB exam scores of 3+; dual-credit college courses with C or better; an associate's degree at HS graduation; an industry-based certification; an OnRamps course; military enlistment; or an aligned career-prep program. The metric rolls up "is this graduate prepared for what comes next?" into one comparable number.

Source: TEA TAPR 2022-23 — Domain 4 CCMR + A-F Accountability. CCMR cohort = HS Class of 2023. A-F grade per Texas Education Code §39.054. Initial dataset is high-profile Texas HSs only — full ingest follows the TEA TAPR downloadable-file processing.

Chronic absenteeism

Share of students absent 15+ days
7.8%
Below 10% — strong attendance culture. Chronic absence is a leading indicator of dropout and disengagement; a low rate signals families staying connected to the school.
Students absent 15+ days
165
Federal definition: absent (excused or unexcused) for at least 15 of ~180 school days — about 10% of the school year.

Why this matters to enrollment: A low chronic-absence rate is the cleanest school-level signal of strong family connection, classroom culture, and student engagement — all upstream drivers of enrollment stability. For school leaders: an Enrollment Trend Audit traces this dynamic forward →

Counselor capacity

Student : Counselor
375:1
Around the US median. Counselors are stretched but functional.
Counselor FTE
5.7
Full-time-equivalent school counselors on staff.
Teacher FTE
137
Full-time-equivalent classroom teachers.

Source: U.S. Department of Education, Civil Rights Data Collection 2020-2021. Counselor ratio = the school's most recent total enrollment ÷ counselor FTE. The American School Counselor Association (ASCA) recommends a 250:1 maximum; the US national median across schools with on-staff counselors is roughly 430:1.

Enrollment trend & projection

Grade 12 went from 514 in 2021 to 515 in 2024 — over 3 years.
+0.2%

Total enrollment + grade 12, NCES Common Core of Data (2021–2024).

If the recent trend holds…

At its recent rate of -0.2%/year, projecting from 2024's 2,128 students:

2025
2,124
2027
2,115
2029
2,107

≈ 21 fewer students by 2029 — a real revenue/relevance risk worth getting ahead of.

An extrapolation of the recent trajectory, not a forecast of the school's plans; ignores one-off shocks.

Revenue at risk

At $14,625 per student in district revenue, the 21 students projected to be lost by 2029 represent ≈ $307,125/year in funding at risk.

District total revenue ÷ enrollment, NCES F-33. Public funding largely follows enrollment, so a shrinking class is a recurring budget hit.
