Summary:
The city of San Augustine, Texas, is home to three schools: one elementary school, one high school, and one alternative high school. While the district faces socioeconomic challenges, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, one school stands out for its exceptional academic performance - Broaddus High School.
San Augustine High School and San Augustine Elementary generally perform below state averages in STAAR test subjects, with proficiency rates ranging from 0% to 43.9%. In contrast, Broaddus High School, an alternative school, exceeds the state and district averages in most STAAR test subjects, with proficiency rates as high as 95% in 8th-grade mathematics. Broaddus High School also boasts a 100% four-year graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate, outperforming the other schools in the district.
The racial makeup of the schools also varies significantly, with Broaddus High School having a majority White student population at 81.91%, while San Augustine High School has a more diverse student body, with 56.09% African American, 24.08% Hispanic, and 14.73% White students. This disparity raises questions about equity and access to quality education for all students in the San Augustine Independent School District (Isd) and the Broaddus Independent School District (Isd).
