Waller High School faces several challenges, including its overall low statewide ranking, which has consistently placed it between 1,166 and 1,256 out of 1,861 to 1,987 high schools in Texas over the past several years, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with relatively strong results for White and Gifted and Talented students, but lower rankings for Asian, Native American, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students. Additionally, Waller High School's four-year graduation rate has declined from 96.2% in 2018-2019 to 94.4% in 2022-2023, and its STAAR EOC test scores are consistently below the state and district averages, particularly in Algebra I, where the school's proficiency rate is around 18-24%, compared to the state average of 44-45%.
Waller High School's performance lags behind many of the nearby high schools, such as Cypress Park High School, Magnolia High School, and Tomball Memorial High School, which have higher statewide rankings, better test scores, and higher graduation rates. The school's relatively high percentage of students (around 62%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch may contribute to its lower academic performance, and the declining performance over the past several years suggests the need for the school and district to identify and address the underlying factors contributing to this trend.
