Summary:
The Angleton Independent School District (Isd) serves three high schools—one comprehensive high school and two specialized alternative campuses—for a total of 2,299 students in grades 9-12, located in a Texas district ranked in the 37th percentile statewide.
Angleton High School is the district's academic anchor, enrolling 97% of all high school students (2,225 students) and earning a 2-star rating with a 41st percentile state rank. It boasts a 97.7% graduation rate and a 0.1% dropout rate, with per-student spending of $10,246. In contrast, the Student Alternative Center (41 students) and Brazoria County Juvenile Detention (33 students) both received 0-star ratings and rank in the 8th and 5th percentiles, respectively. The alternative center spends an extraordinary $83,457 per student—over eight times more than Angleton High—yet achieves the lowest academic scores in the district, with Algebra I proficiency at just 7.69% compared to Angleton's 44.41%. The juvenile detention center recorded 0% proficiency in Algebra I and English I Reading, though it showed a relative strength in Biology at 37.5%.
Key takeaways include a stark spending paradox: the highest-funded school performs the worst academically, likely due to intensive support needs for at-risk populations. Angleton High School is the district's success story, with test scores dramatically higher than the alternative campuses—for example, nearly six times better in Algebra I. Biology emerged as a relative strength for both alternative schools, with the juvenile detention center achieving 37.5% proficiency. The district's overall performance is mixed, with Angleton High providing a strong foundation while the specialized schools face significant challenges in serving their unique student populations.
