Summary:
The city of Henrietta, Texas, is home to four schools serving approximately 1,023 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade, split between the Henrietta Independent School District (Isd) and the Midway Independent School District (Isd).
Henrietta High School is the standout performer in the area, earning a 3-star or 4-star rating and ranking in the 64th percentile statewide. It boasts a 95.5% graduation rate, a 0% dropout rate, and consistently excels in English Language Arts, with proficiency rates significantly above the state average. In contrast, Henrietta Elementary struggles the most, ranking in the 38th percentile and scoring below state averages in nearly every subject, particularly in 5th-grade Math where only 25.86% of students were proficient. Henrietta Middle shows a mixed picture: while general math scores are low (7th-grade Math proficiency was just 13.95%), its advanced Algebra I students perform exceptionally well, with a 73.68% proficiency rate. Midway School, an alternative school with a very low student-teacher ratio of 7.2:1, presents a fascinating paradox—its elementary scores are below average, but its high school EOC scores are phenomenal, achieving 100% proficiency in Biology and English I Reading.
A clear pattern emerges when comparing resources to results. The two highest-performing schools—Henrietta High School and Midway School—also have the highest spending per student ($16,776 and $16,454, respectively) and the lowest student-teacher ratios (8.5:1 and 7.2:1). Meanwhile, Henrietta Elementary, which struggles the most, has the lowest spending ($10,702) and the highest student-teacher ratio (12.6:1) within the Henrietta ISD. This suggests that resource allocation may be a key factor in student outcomes across the district.
