Better than 22% of Texas high schools

Summary

Kashmere High School is a public high school in Houston, Texas, serving 640 students in grades 9-12. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Texas high schools over the past decade, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kashmere High School faces significant challenges in academic performance, with only 40.8% of students proficient or better in Algebra I, compared to 50.52% for the Houston Independent School District (HISD) and 47.01% for Texas. The school also struggles with lower graduation rates, ranging from 69.9% to 83.7%, and higher dropout rates, ranging from 3.5% to 9.6%, compared to state averages. Kashmere High School's performance for subgroups like African American, Hispanic, English Language Learners, and Low Socioeconomic Status students is in the bottom 50% of Texas high schools.

While Kashmere High School spends more per student than nearby charter schools like KIPP Generations Collegiate and public schools like Northside High School, its academic outcomes remain significantly lower. This raises questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources at the school. Addressing the root causes of Kashmere High School's underperformance will be crucial for improving the educational opportunities and outcomes for its students.
