Summary:
The Breckenridge Independent School District (Isd) is served by a single high school, Breckenridge High School, which educates 379 students in grades 9 through 12 and has shown notable academic strengths despite a high rate of economic disadvantage.
Breckenridge High School stands out for its strong performance in Biology and U.S. History, consistently exceeding state averages. In the most recent data, 76% of students were proficient in Biology (compared to 70.51% statewide), and U.S. History proficiency jumped to 80.41% in the prior year, a nearly 10-point increase. The school also excels in English Language Arts, with English I Reading proficiency at 61.62% (state: 55.43%) and English II Reading at 60.82% (state: 59.88%). However, Algebra I remains a challenge, with only 50.57% proficiency, which is below the state average of 54.03%. A curious data anomaly shows the district's Algebra I rate (58.1%) is higher than the school's, even though the school is the only high school in the district, suggesting a possible reporting discrepancy.
Key metrics include a low student-teacher ratio of 11.3:1, a graduation rate of 94.0%, and a dropout rate of just 0.5%. With 60.16% of students economically disadvantaged, the school's per-student spending of $9,883 appears efficient, supporting strong outcomes in most subjects. The school has improved its state ranking from the 46th percentile (2 stars) in 2023-2024 to the 61st percentile (3 stars) in 2025-2026, indicating a positive trajectory. While the school shows resilience in English and science, the Algebra I scores highlight a specific area needing attention for parents considering this district.
