Houston Heights High School


Summary:

The Houston Heights Charter School is the sole high school serving the Houston Heights area. As a public charter school, it has struggled to provide a quality education, ranking between 1545 and 1819 out of 1961-1987 Texas high schools in recent years and earning a low 0-1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's performance metrics are significantly below state averages across the board. Its four-year graduation rate is just 70.9%, well below the state average, and its dropout rate is high at 8.0%. STAAR EOC test scores range from just 5.56% proficiency in Algebra I to 32.31% in U.S. History, far short of the state standards. While the school's $11,938 per-student spending is slightly above the state average, and its 9.6 student-teacher ratio is relatively low, these resources have not translated into better academic outcomes for students.

Overall, the Houston Heights High School area is served by a struggling charter school that is underperforming compared to state averages on key metrics like graduation rates, test scores, and dropout prevention. Without more information on the school's demographics and specific challenges, it is difficult to pinpoint the root causes, but the data clearly indicates the need for significant improvement to provide students with a quality education.
