Summary
Azle High School is a large public high school in Azle, TX, serving 2,192 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Azle Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 42nd percentile of Texas districts. The school has earned a consistent 3-star rating from Schooldigger for six years, with a state ranking that has improved from the 52nd to the 61st percentile over the last four years. About 42.2% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, reflecting a moderately diverse student body.
Azle High School stands out for its strong performance in English and history, consistently exceeding state averages in English I (59.1% proficient vs. 55.43% statewide), English II (67.8% vs. 59.88%), and U.S. History (75.44% vs. 70.17%). This humanities advantage makes it competitive with the area's top performer, V R Eaton High School, in those subjects. The school also boasts an exceptional graduation rate above 95% and a dropout rate of just 0.1%, far better than nearby Lake Worth High School (85.4% graduation, 3.5% dropout) and Springtown High School (91.1% graduation, 2.0% dropout). However, Algebra I remains a persistent weakness, with only 43.96% proficient compared to the state average of 54.03%.
Notably, Azle High School achieves these results with relatively efficient spending of about $9,800 per student, less than Lake Worth High School's $12,008 per student, which yields worse outcomes. The school has also shown dramatic improvement for its African American students, jumping from the 31st to the 64th percentile in one year. While the district's alternative campus, Azle Hornet Academy, serves at-risk students with lower performance, Azle High School remains the primary driver of the district's solid academic reputation.
