Raleigh High School students also outperform district and state averages on several key end-of-course assessments, including Algebra I, English II, Biology, and U.S. History.

While Raleigh Elementary shows some academic strengths, with 3rd-grade students exceeding district and state averages in ELA and Math, the school's performance declines in the upper elementary grades. The higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio at Raleigh High School may contribute to its stronger academic outcomes compared to the elementary school. Overall, the data suggests that Raleigh High School is a standout performer in the Smith County School District, particularly given the high-poverty student population it serves.
