Summary

B F Terry High School in Rosenberg, TX, is a large public high school serving 1,512 students in grades 9-12 and is part of the Lamar Consolidated Independent School District, a top-performing district with a 4-star rating. Despite the district's overall strength, B F Terry has consistently ranked in the lower half of Texas high schools, earning a 2-star rating, and serves a student population where 66% qualify for free or reduced lunch, indicating a high level of economic need.

Academically, B F Terry is the lowest-performing traditional high school in its district, with standardized test scores often below state averages. For example, in Algebra I, only 28% of students met proficiency, compared to the district average of 58%, and far below nearby Foster High School (53%) and George Ranch High School (50%). In U.S. History, B F Terry (70%) is the only LCISD high school below the state average, while George Ranch (92%) and Foster (86%) are top performers. The school's graduation rate has improved to 91%, but its dropout rate of 1.1% is the highest among district peers. A notable bright spot is its exceptional work with English Language Learners, ranking in the 72nd percentile statewide—a 4-star rating that far exceeds the school's overall performance.

Compared to its closest neighbor, Lamar Cons High School, just 1.19 miles away, B F Terry faces more acute challenges, with a higher poverty rate and lower test scores. While the school shows strong results for African American, Hispanic, and low-income students, it struggles with White and Asian student populations. B F Terry is not a failing school but one with high needs that requires targeted resources to bridge the achievement gap with its more affluent district peers like Foster and George Ranch.
