Summary

Navarro Early College High School is a public high school in Austin, Texas, serving 1,714 students in grades 9-12. While part of the Austin Independent School District, which is ranked 578 out of 961 districts in the state, Navarro Early College High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

Navarro Early College High School faces significant academic challenges, with only 9.81% of students proficient or better in Algebra I, compared to 42.55% for the district and 47.01% for the state. The school's graduation rate, while relatively high, ranges from 90.9% to 94.3%, but its dropout rate is also higher than the district and state averages, ranging from 1.2% to 2.0% in recent years. Additionally, the school serves a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 85.14% to 89.61% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Compared to nearby high-performing schools in the Austin Independent School District, such as McCallum High School and Anderson High School, Navarro Early College High School's performance lags significantly. The school's struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, particularly its Hispanic and White student populations, raise concerns about equity and the school's ability to provide a high-quality education for all students.
