Summary:
The city of Angleton, Texas, is served by 11 public schools spanning pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, primarily within the Angleton Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 37th percentile statewide and serves a predominantly low-income community where about 65% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.
Westside Elementary stands out as the district's academic leader, earning a 4-star rating for three consecutive years and ranking in the 75th percentile—far above the district average. In contrast, Angleton Junior High School presents a fascinating "two-track" system: its advanced students taking high-school-level End-of-Course exams achieve elite proficiency rates (e.g., 87.41% in Biology), while its general 8th-grade STAAR scores are among the lowest in the district (31.38% in Reading). The specialized Student Alternative Center and Brazoria County Juvenile Detention campuses serve at-risk students with intensive resources, spending up to $83,457 per student with student-teacher ratios as low as 3.5:1, though their test scores are near zero due to their unique missions.
Key metrics reveal that Angleton High School excels at keeping students on track, boasting a 97.7% graduation rate and a 0.1% dropout rate, while its English II Reading (59.97%) and U.S. History (62.98%) scores are competitive with state averages. Spending does not guarantee performance: Central Elementary spends the most among main campuses ($12,937 per student) but ranks in the 67th percentile, while Westside Elementary spends less ($10,055) yet achieves top results. The tiny Trinity Charter Schools - Angleton Campus, with only 7 students and no test data, remains an outlier. Overall, Westside Elementary serves as a model for what is possible within the district, while Angleton Junior High's bifurcated performance highlights a critical area for improvement.
