What stands out at Loop School
Loop School is a higher-need, small combined-grade school in Loop, Texas, enrolling 150 students.
Classes run notably small here: at 10:1, Loop School is leaner than roughly 90% of Texas schools and 32% under the state's 14.7:1 norm, more adult attention per pupil than most peers.
Its free-meal eligibility rate of 57.3% lands close to the Texas typical range, neither a high- nor low-need campus by this measure.
Enrollment of 150 puts it in the smaller third of Texas schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index lands in the upper third of 8,960 scored Texas schools.
Against 353 statewide peers matched on enrollment and economic need, it ranks mid-pack at #163.
Its student body is led by White (72%) and Hispanic or Latino (25%) (diversity index 42/100).
Counselor coverage runs a bit thin, about 300 students per counselor, somewhat past the ASCA-recommended 250:1 benchmark.
17.3% of students were chronically absent in the 2021-22 collection, in line with the post-pandemic national range.
The surrounding Loop Isd spends $17,709 per pupil, 30% above the Texas average, a better-resourced district than most.
Loop Isd operates only this one school, so Loop School has no district-mates to compare against locally.
