Summary:
Zip code 74085 has one high school, Yale High School, serving grades 9–12 with 127 students; with no other high schools in the group, there is no local school-to-school comparison. The clearest concern in its 2025–2026 results is mathematics: 9% of students were proficient, compared with 25% statewide, a 16-point gap.
Within the school’s results, U.S. History was strongest at 34% proficient, while mathematics was lowest at 9%; these are subject comparisons, not a ranking of schools. Compared with state results, Yale was 7 points lower in U.S. History (34% versus 41%), 11 points lower in science (19% versus 30%), and just 1 point lower in English Language Arts I (25% versus 26%). Grade 11 results show a different pattern: the ELA I gap was 11 points (25% versus 36%), while the science gap was 2 points (19% versus 21%).
Results improved overall only modestly, with mixed changes by subject: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, mathematics rose from 5% to 9% proficient, while science fell from 21% to 19%; the average gap across the four subjects narrowed from 10 points to 9 points. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile rose from 24th to 35th and its rating from 1 star to 2 stars, though the percentile was 36th in 2023–2024. Other context includes a 15.7 student-teacher ratio and 65% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025. Chronic absenteeism was 9% in 2025–2026, below the state’s 16% but above the Yale district’s 7%. The reported 2024–2025 graduation rate for the district was 86%, compared with 78% statewide.
