Summary

Longview High School is a large, comprehensive public high school in Longview, TX, serving 2,272 students in grades 9-12 within the Longview Independent School District (Isd), and it stands out for its exceptional graduation rate of 98.7% and a dropout rate of just 0.3%, despite serving a high-poverty population where over 78% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. This performance is particularly notable when compared to nearby schools like Spring Hill High School (95.9% graduation rate) and Hallsville High School (96.7% graduation rate), which serve more affluent student bodies. The school's ability to keep students on track to graduate is a key strength, making it a high-value option for families in the region.

Academically, Longview High School outperforms the state average in four out of five core subjects, including Algebra I, English I, English II, and Biology, and shows strong effectiveness with specific student groups. For example, the school ranks in the 89th percentile for English Language Learners and the 74th percentile for low-socioeconomic status students, indicating targeted support that helps close achievement gaps. However, Algebra I remains a challenge, with proficiency rates that, while above the state average, lag behind the district average, suggesting a need for continued focus in this foundational subject. In contrast, schools like White Oak High School and Spring Hill High School consistently rank higher overall, but Longview's ability to serve a diverse, high-needs population sets it apart.

Within the same district, Lead Academy High School serves a smaller, even higher-poverty student body but achieves lower test scores and rankings, highlighting a contrast in outcomes despite higher per-student spending. Longview High School's positive trajectory for Hispanic and ELL students, with percentile rankings rising significantly in recent years, suggests effective programs are in place to support these growing demographics. For parents, this school offers a strong track record of graduation and academic growth, especially for students who may face economic challenges, making it a solid choice in the Longview area.
