US high schools reporting SAT/ACT participation

Source: federal Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC 2020-21). Volume — not score — is what's reported here. A higher count means more students at this school are entering the college admissions pipeline. Note: 2020-21 was COVID-disrupted; some districts (especially those that stayed remote longer) report unusually low or zero takers.

🏛️ Federal Title I context

Mixed-income school

Below Title I eligibility threshold (FRPL < 35%)

29.4%
FRPL rate — % of students who qualify for the federal Free or Reduced-Price Lunch program. This is the underlying federal income-eligibility signal Title I designations are computed from (ESEA Sec. 1113).
0% (no FRPL) 35% TA · 40% Schoolwide 100% (universal FRPL)

25-34% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch. Below the federal Title I threshold but a meaningful share of the population is income-eligible for free lunch.

Source: NCES Common Core of Data, free/reduced-price lunch eligibility. The actual Title I designation is a district decision and may differ from eligibility — but the federal eligibility math is what we show here. We don't claim to assert whether the district formally chose to enroll this school in Title I.

in-state tuition/yr · $44,908 out-of-state

The in-state tuition gap is the flagship's biggest draw — most in-state families pay far less than the out-of-state sticker. Average net price after aid runs about $19,857/yr. Admission odds depend on your student's GPA and test scores, not which high school they attend.

💰 Pay for college in Texas

Texas's public scholarships

Texas families have two big levers: a guaranteed-admission rule for the top of each graduating class, and the need-based TEXAS Grant that pairs with it. Class rank does more here than almost anywhere.

Auto-admit Top 10% Automatic Admission
Guaranteed admission to a Texas public university (not a $ award)
GPA: Top 10% class rank (UT Austin caps at top 5%)

Graduate in the top 10% of your Texas public-HS class and finish the required curriculum for automatic admission to TX public universities (UT Austin caps at the top 5%). (Must finish the required college-prep curriculum (Distinguished plan).)

Official program details ↗
Need-based TEXAS Grant
Up to $16,182/yr (tuition & required fees)
GPA: No GPA gate to qualify (3.0 / top-third = priority) Income: Need-based (federal Student Aid Index)

Texas's flagship need-based grant — no GPA gate to qualify (a 3.0 or top-third rank just gives priority when funds run short). (Enroll within 16 months of HS, ≥¾ time, in a bachelor's program.)

Official program details ↗
Merit Texas First Early Completion Scholarship
Scholarship equal to the TEXAS Grant amount
GPA: 3.0 Test: SAT/ACT at the 80th percentile OR top-10% class rank

Graduate at least a semester early with the Distinguished plan plus a 3.0 GPA and an 80th-percentile test (or top-10% rank) for a TEXAS Grant-sized scholarship. (Graduate at least a semester early with the Distinguished plan.)

🎓 Graduation & Attendance

Does this school get students to the finish line — and keep them in the building?

Two things every family wants to know: do students graduate on time, and do they show up. These are TEA's official campus figures.

🎯 College & Career Readiness

How ready are this school's graduates for what comes next?

Beyond graduating, are students prepared — for college, a career, or the military? These are TEA's official readiness measures for the most recent graduating class.

What counts as CCMR-ready? →

Under TEA's accountability system, a graduate counts as College/Career/Military Ready by meeting any one of: a qualifying SAT/ACT or TSI score; AP/IB exam scores of 3+; college dual-credit with a C or better; an associate's degree; an industry-based certification; an OnRamps course; military enlistment; or an aligned career-prep program. It rolls "is this graduate prepared for what's next?" into one comparable number — which is why a school can post a high CCMR even when its average SAT is modest (strong career, military, and dual-credit pathways count too).

Source: Texas Education Agency, Texas Academic Performance Report (TAPR), 2024-25, All Students. CCMR / SAT-ACT / AP-IB = Class of 2024 graduates; dual-credit = grades 9-12. School SAT/ACT averages are campus means, not the scores of admitted college applicants. TEA masks small-group results for privacy.

⭐ Texas Accountability

TEA's official A–F rating: B (88/100).

The Texas Education Agency's official accountability grade for this campus — a single A–F letter and a 0–100 scaled score the state assigns to every public high school, rolled up from the domains below.

What the A–F domains mean →

Student Achievement — STAAR performance plus, for high schools, college/career/military readiness and graduation. School Progress — academic growth and performance relative to schools with similar economic profiles. Closing the Gaps — outcomes across student groups. TEA awards the campus the better of two methods per domain; the overall grade is the weighted roll-up.

📝 Texas State Testing

STAAR End-of-Course results: how many students meet grade level.

What do Approaches / Meets / Masters mean? →

Texas reports STAAR at three rising bars: Approaches (likely to succeed in the next grade with support), Meets (solid command, on track for college/career readiness — the headline number above), and Masters (advanced command). End-of-Course exams are taken when a student finishes the course, so they reflect that subject's instruction, not a single grade.

Chronic absenteeism

Share of students absent 15+ days
4.7%
Below 10% — strong attendance culture. Chronic absence is a leading indicator of dropout and disengagement; a low rate signals families staying connected to the school.
Students absent 15+ days
58
Federal definition: absent (excused or unexcused) for at least 15 of ~180 school days — about 10% of the school year.

Why this matters to enrollment: A low chronic-absence rate is the cleanest school-level signal of strong family connection, classroom culture, and student engagement — all upstream drivers of enrollment stability.

Source: U.S. Department of Education, Civil Rights Data Collection 2020–2021. Rate = students chronically absent ÷ 2024 total enrollment.

Counselor capacity

Student : Counselor
616:1
Well above the US median — a real constraint on individualized college and course planning.
Counselor FTE
2.0
Full-time-equivalent school counselors on staff.
Teacher FTE

Full-time-equivalent classroom teachers.

Source: U.S. Department of Education, Civil Rights Data Collection 2020-2021. Counselor ratio = the school's most recent total enrollment ÷ counselor FTE. The American School Counselor Association (ASCA) recommends a 250:1 maximum; the US national median across schools with on-staff counselors is roughly 430:1.

Enrollment trend & projection

Grade 12 went from 134 in 2021 to 295 in 2024 — over 3 years.
+120.1%

Total enrollment + grade 12, NCES Common Core of Data (2021–2024).

If the recent trend holds…

At its recent rate of +7.3%/year, projecting from 2024's 1,233 students:

2025
1,323
2027
1,524
2029
1,755

An extrapolation of the recent trajectory, not a forecast of the school's plans; ignores one-off shocks.

Revenue upside

At $12,614 per student in district revenue, the 522 students projected to be gained by 2029 represent ≈ $6,584,508/year in additional funding.

District total revenue ÷ enrollment, NCES F-33. Public funding largely follows enrollment, so a shrinking class is a recurring budget hit.
