VIOLA DEWALT HIGH SCHOOL

VIOLA DEWALT H S is a Title I public high school that is part of the LA PORTE ISD school district, located in LA PORTE, TX with about 67 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 10 teachers, VIOLA DEWALT H S has a student/teacher ratio of about 6:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

By maintaining smaller class sizes and fostering close relationships between staff and students, the school aims to create a supportive culture that prioritizes student engagement and long-term success.

The campus emphasizes a student-centered approach that balances academic rigor with social-emotional support. Beyond core coursework, Viola DeWalt offers pathways that help students prepare for post-secondary life, whether that includes entering the workforce, enrolling in trade programs, or pursuing higher education.
