Summary:
The city of Anahuac, Texas, is served by the Anahuac Independent School District (Isd), which operates four public schools—Anahuac High School, Anahuac Pri (PK-2), Anahuac Middle, and Anahuac Elementary (3-5)—serving about 1,552 students in a community where over half of students face economic disadvantage.
The standout school for student retention is Anahuac High School, which boasts an exceptional 99.1% graduation rate and a 0.2% dropout rate, even though its state test scores generally fall below state averages. In contrast, Anahuac Middle presents a math paradox: while only 5.62% of 7th graders are proficient in general math, 81.48% of its 8th graders taking Algebra I scored proficient or above—far exceeding the state average. Anahuac Elementary shows the most improvement, jumping from the 20th to the 42nd percentile in state rankings over the past year, though 5th grade science remains a weak point at just 11.82% proficiency. Anahuac Pri has no test data available, making it difficult to assess early learning foundations.
Key metrics show the district ranks in the 25th percentile statewide (718 out of 951) with a 1-star rating. Per-student spending ranges from $10,501 at the elementary level to $14,575 at the high school, and student-teacher ratios are low (13.4:1 to 15.1:1). A district-wide weakness is science education, with low proficiency in both 5th grade and high school Biology. The high graduation rate paired with low test scores suggests a focus on credit completion over academic mastery, while the middle school’s advanced math success highlights an opportunity to improve general math instruction for all students.
