Summary

Wylie High School in Abilene, TX, is a large, high-performing public school serving 1,537 students in grades 9-12, and it stands out as a top-tier option in the region. Part of the highly-rated Wylie Independent School District (Isd), the school has a long history of academic excellence, earning a 5-star rating for five consecutive years and currently ranking in the 83rd percentile statewide. With only 17.57% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, the school serves a predominantly affluent community, which is a key factor in its strong performance compared to nearby schools.

Wylie High dramatically outperforms the two largest comprehensive high schools in the area, Abilene High School and Cooper High School, which rank in the 41st and 38th percentiles, respectively. On STAAR End-of-Course exams, Wylie students score 20-30 percentage points higher in English and Reading, and 15-20 points higher in Biology and U.S. History. The school also boasts a high graduation rate of 95.3% and a very low dropout rate of 0.9%. The only nearby school that outperforms Wylie is the selective-admission magnet school, Academy For Technology Engineering Math & Science, which ranks in the 96th percentile but serves a much smaller, specialized student body.

While Wylie High demonstrates strong performance across nearly all student subgroups, there are a few areas for attention. The school has shown a slight dip in its state ranking since 2021, moving from a 5-star to a 4-star rating. Additionally, its Gifted and Talented students have experienced some volatility in performance, and Asian students consistently earn lower ratings than other groups. Despite these nuances, Wylie High achieves its results with a relatively modest per-student spending of $8,653, suggesting efficient use of resources within the Wylie Independent School District (Isd).
