Summary

Saginaw High School is a large public high school in Saginaw, TX, serving 2,013 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Eagle Mt-Saginaw Independent School District (Isd), with just over half of its students coming from low socio-economic backgrounds.

The most notable story at Saginaw High is its significant decline in overall state ranking over the last five years, dropping from a 4-star rating (75th percentile) in 2018-2019 to a 2-star rating (44th percentile) for the 2025-2026 school year. This downward trend is the most dramatic among its immediate district peers. For example, Boswell High School, the highest-ranked school in the same district, has maintained stable, higher performance (58th percentile). The school's academic profile is highly uneven: it consistently excels in English II Reading (61.6% proficient, above the state average), but struggles severely in Algebra I (only 31.69% proficient, far below the state average of 54.03%). This Algebra I gap is a major drag on its overall ranking. Despite these academic challenges, the school maintains an exceptionally high graduation rate of 97.6% and a very low dropout rate of 0.4%, suggesting it is effective at keeping students on track to graduate.

Within the district, Saginaw High is the middle-performing school, with Chisholm Trail High School being a very close peer with a nearly identical overall rank (45th percentile) and similar test scores, though Chisholm Trail has been more stable. A striking comparison is to Marine Creek Collegiate High School, a small magnet school just 3.67 miles away that serves a higher percentage of low-income students (77.43%) yet is a 5-star school ranking in the 91st percentile, dramatically outperforming Saginaw in every subject. This highlights that Saginaw's challenges are not solely demographic but also relate to school-level effectiveness. The school has shown relative strength with English Language Learner and Special Education students, but its largest subgroup—low socio-economic status students—has seen a sharp decline in performance, which is likely a primary driver of the school's overall ranking drop.
