High Schools in Granbury Independent School District (Isd)

The Granbury Independent School District (Isd) in Texas is home to two high schools: Granbury High School and Stars Accelerated High School. Granbury High School is the larger and more established of the two, with an enrollment of 2,202 students, compared to just 32 students at Stars Accelerated High School.

Academically, Granbury High School outperforms the district and state averages in most STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exam proficiency rates, particularly in Biology, English I and II Reading, and U.S. History. In contrast, Stars Accelerated High School struggles academically, with significantly lower proficiency rates compared to the district and state, especially in English I and II Reading. The demographic composition of the schools also differs, with Granbury High School having a more diverse student population and a lower percentage of economically disadvantaged students compared to Stars Accelerated High School.

Despite the higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio at Stars Accelerated High School, the school's academic performance lags significantly behind Granbury High School and the district and state averages. This disparity raises questions about the effective utilization of resources and the factors contributing to the performance gap between the two high schools within the Granbury Independent School District (Isd).
