Summary:
The Burnet Consolidated Independent School District in Texas is home to two high schools: Burnet High School and Quest High School. While both schools serve high school students, they exhibit significant differences in size, academic performance, and resource allocation.
Burnet High School is the larger of the two, with an enrollment of 1,003 students, compared to just 46 students at Quest High School. Academically, Burnet High School generally outperforms the district and state averages on STAAR End-of-Course exams, particularly in U.S. History and Biology, while Quest High School lags behind in most subject areas, with particularly low proficiency rates in Algebra I.
The resource allocation between the two schools is also noteworthy. Quest High School spends significantly more per student at $19,134, compared to $10,869 per student at Burnet High School. However, this additional funding does not appear to be translating into better academic outcomes for Quest High School, which has a lower statewide ranking and a higher dropout rate than Burnet High School.
