High Schools in Whitesboro Independent School District (Isd)

Whitesboro Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to a single high school, Whitesboro High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school's performance has seen a concerning decline in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 841 out of 1,876 Texas high schools in 2021-2022 to 1,131 out of 1,987 in 2023-2024, accompanied by a corresponding drop in its SchoolDigger rating from 3 stars to 2 stars.

Whitesboro High School's academic performance is mixed, with strengths in subjects like Biology but significant weaknesses in Algebra I, where the school's proficiency rate (11.11%) is significantly lower than the district (24.03%) and state (44.73%) averages. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 47.25% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to these uneven academic outcomes. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.4 could be an asset, providing more individualized attention and support for students.

Despite the school's declining performance trend, it maintains a strong four-year graduation rate of 96.6% for the 2022-2023 school year, and a relatively low dropout rate of 0.6% for the 2021-2022 school year. Addressing the underlying factors behind the school's academic weaknesses, while leveraging its strengths and the advantages of its low student-teacher ratio, could be crucial for Whitesboro ISD to improve the overall performance and ranking of Whitesboro High School.
