Summary

Anthony High School in Anthony, TX, is a small rural school serving 243 students in grades 9-12 within the Anthony Independent School District (Isd), where nearly 75% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. While its overall academic performance is moderate—typically ranking in the 2-star range statewide—the school truly shines in its exceptional support for its most vulnerable students. For instance, it ranks in the 80th percentile for Special Education students and an impressive 91st percentile for Migrant students, a remarkable turnaround from just a few years ago. This stands in stark contrast to nearby Andress High School, which struggles overall, and even high-performing schools like Franklin High School.

The school boasts a consistently high graduation rate of 93-96%, significantly higher than nearby Andress High School (78.2%) and Canutillo High School (91.2%). This success is supported by a very low student-teacher ratio of 12.2:1—the lowest among comparable area schools like Franklin High School (19:1) and Coronado High School (19:1)—and high per-student spending of about $14,500-$15,000, far exceeding nearby schools in the El Paso Independent School District (Isd). This investment likely funds the intensive support systems driving the success of its special education and migrant populations.

While core academic proficiency on STAAR EOC exams often lags behind state averages—for example, Biology proficiency at 54.55% versus the state's 70.51%—the school excels at closing achievement gaps. It provides a stable, predictable education environment, consistently ranking in the 2-star range over the past five years, unlike the volatile performance of nearby El Paso Academy West. Surrounded by top-tier early college high schools like Transmountain Early College High School (99th percentile) and Northwest Early College H S (Nwechs) (94th percentile), Anthony High School serves a distinct role as a pillar of equity, offering a personalized, supportive environment that ensures its most at-risk students graduate and succeed.
