Summary:
The Houston Heights High School district contains only one high school, the Houston Heights Charter School, which serves grades 9-12. The school is performing well below average compared to other high schools in Texas, ranking 1819 out of 1974 and receiving a 0 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.
The Houston Heights Charter School has consistently low performance, with its ranking dropping each year over the past three school years. The school's proficiency rates on STAAR End-of-Course exams are significantly lower than the state averages, with gaps ranging from 20 to 40 percentage points. Additionally, the school has a high dropout rate of 8.0%, which is higher than the state average, and a four-year graduation rate of only 70.9%, also well below the state average.
Despite spending slightly more per student than the state average at $11,938, the school's performance metrics suggest the additional funding is not translating into improved outcomes for students. With a student-teacher ratio of 9.6, the school appears to have a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio, but this has not resulted in better academic achievement. Overall, the Houston Heights Charter School is a struggling institution that is performing well below average and in need of significant improvements to better serve its students and the local community.
