Summary

Alba-Golden High School is a mid-sized public school in the rural community of Alba, Texas, serving 433 students in grades 6 through 12 as part of the Alba-Golden Independent School District (Isd).

This school stands out for its exceptional support of all students, particularly those who often need extra help. It has achieved a perfect 100% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate, a feat no nearby school can match. The school excels in English Language Arts, with 86.21% of students proficient in English II—a remarkable 26 percentage points above the state average and the highest rate among all nearby schools, including Mineola High School (75.8%). Alba-Golden also shines for specific student groups, ranking in the 99th percentile statewide for Gifted and Talented students and the 95th percentile for Hispanic students. With a low student-teacher ratio of 11.7:1, the school provides a more intimate learning environment than larger peers like Van High School (14.8:1).

However, the school has a clear area for growth: mathematics. While its English scores are stellar, only 34.48% of students were proficient in Algebra I, nearly 20 points below the state average and the lowest among nearby schools. This contrasts sharply with Quitman High School and Van High School, which have stronger math programs. Despite this challenge, Alba-Golden’s consistent 4-star rating and its dramatic turnaround for Gifted students—from the bottom 3% to the top 1% in just three years—show a school that knows how to improve. If it can replicate its English success in math, it has the potential to become a top-tier school in the region.
