While Tivy High School has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, its statewide ranking has declined from 398 out of 1,797 Texas high schools in 2017-2018 to 755 out of 1,987 in 2023-2024, suggesting the school may be facing increasing competition or challenges compared to other high-performing schools in the state. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students (47.34%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which could be a factor in its performance.
