Summary:
The Boles Independent School District (Isd) is served by a single high school, Boles High School, which educates 176 students in grades 9-12 in Quinlan, Texas. This small school boasts a very low student-teacher ratio of 9.3:1, allowing for personalized attention, and nearly half of its students (49.43%) are economically disadvantaged.
Boles High School is a standout for its perfect 100% graduation rate and 0% dropout rate for the 2023-2024 school year, a remarkable achievement. However, its academic performance is a mixed bag. The school excels in English II Reading, with 73.17% of students proficient compared to the state average of 59.88%, and also performs above state averages in Algebra I and English I Reading. Conversely, it struggles significantly in U.S. History, where only 40.54% of students are proficient versus the state's 70.17%, and it also falls below state averages in Biology. This dramatic inconsistency—a 32.63 percentage point gap between its best and worst subjects—is a key concern for parents.
The school's small size creates notable volatility in its year-over-year data. For instance, English I Reading proficiency dropped from 71.79% to 57.14% in one year, while English II Reading jumped from 63.16% to 73.17%. This means a single class of students can heavily influence the school's metrics. While the perfect graduation rate shows strong student support, the data also reveals that many graduates are not proficient in core subjects like U.S. History (59.46% not proficient) and Biology (37.5% not proficient). The district currently holds a 3-star rating and ranks in the 52nd percentile statewide, with a projected slight decline for the 2025-2026 school year.
