Summary:
The Joshua Independent School District (Isd) in Texas is home to two high schools: Joshua High School and New Horizon High School. These schools serve students in grades 9-12 and offer a range of academic programs and extracurricular activities.
Joshua High School is the larger of the two, with 1,242 students, and it boasts a higher four-year graduation rate of 99.1% and a lower dropout rate of 0.2%. However, New Horizon High School, with only 41 students, has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 82.93%, compared to 44.28% at Joshua High School. While Joshua High School generally performs better on STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams, both schools lag behind the Joshua ISD and Texas state averages in some areas.
The data also reveals that New Horizon High School has significantly higher spending per student at $31,471, compared to $12,121 at Joshua High School. However, this higher spending does not seem to translate into higher academic outcomes, as New Horizon High School lags behind its counterpart in several performance metrics.
