Summary:
Buna Independent School District (ISD) in Texas has only one high school, Buna High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has consistently been ranked and rated below average compared to other Texas high schools, despite its impressive 98.1% four-year graduation rate and 0.0% dropout rate for the 2022-2023 school year.
Buna High School's academic performance, as measured by STAAR EOC (End of Course) test scores, is generally lower than the state averages across all subjects and years. The school's strongest performance is in U.S. History, where it scored 66.34% proficient or better in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 67.94%. However, its weakest performance is in Algebra I, where it scored only 21.82% proficient or better in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 47.01%. The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (42.05% in 2023-2024) and its relatively high per-student spending ($13,331 in 2020-2021) suggest that the school may be serving a lower-income community, which could be contributing to its academic challenges.
Despite the school's overall below-average performance, it maintains a small student-teacher ratio of 10.5 to 1, which is lower than the state average. This could indicate that the school is making efforts to provide more individualized attention to its students. However, further investigation into the school's specific strategies and resources would be needed to determine how to best address the academic challenges and improve student outcomes at Buna High School within the Buna Independent School District (ISD).
