Summary:
The city of Henderson, Texas is home to 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school, serving students from diverse racial and economic backgrounds. While performance varies across the schools, Carlisle School, an alternative school, stands out as the highest-performing with exceptional graduation rates and test scores that exceed district and state averages.
Henderson High School also shows promise, with a strong 95.7% 4-year graduation rate and low 0.1% dropout rate, though its test scores are more mixed. The elementary and middle schools in the Henderson Independent School District (Isd) generally lag behind state averages on STAAR assessments, which may be linked to the high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic disadvantage in the community.
Despite the disparities in academic performance, the schools in Henderson benefit from relatively low student-teacher ratios, ranging from 10.3 to 16.7 students per teacher, which could be a positive factor for student learning. Overall, the data highlights both the strengths and challenges faced by the schools in this area, with Carlisle School serving as a model of success that the district may seek to emulate or learn from.
