2019 Texas National Merit Semifinalists - Ranked by Number per School

This is a list of how many students were named National Merit Semifinalists from Texas high schools. The press release has the names of the students and is widely available on the internet.

The Press Release lists the schools by the city where the school is located, which in Texas is confusing since school district boundaries don't match city limits. For example, Hebron High is located in the city of Carrollton, but is in the Lewisville ISD.

2016-2017 SAT Scores of Low Income Students at Dallas Texas area Schools

This is a ranking of SAT averages by school of students on free or reduced lunch plans. Also added for comparison is each school's overall SAT average of the entire school population. Children from low income families tend to have lower SAT scores no matter how well regarded the school is.

The highest SAT score is 2400. Some Dallas area school districts have too few or no "free lunch" students, so there is no listing for those schools (Highland Park ISD, Lovejoy ISD, Celina ISD, Westlake charter, Melissa ISD)
