Summary:
The Center Independent School District (Isd) in Texas is home to two high schools: Center High School and Roughrider Academy. Both schools serve grades 9-12 and have demonstrated impressive graduation rates, with each achieving a 97.4% four-year graduation rate for the 2022-2023 school year, significantly higher than the state average.
While Center High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas high schools, Roughrider Academy has seen a significant improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 589th out of 1,961 schools in 2022-2023 to 1,041st out of 1,974 in 2024-2025, with a corresponding increase in its SchoolDigger star rating from 4 to 2. Both schools, however, perform below the state average on STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams, with the largest gaps in Algebra I and English I Reading.
Another notable difference between the two schools is the spending per student, with Roughrider Academy spending $15,458 per student, significantly higher than the $12,449 spent per student at Center High School for the 2020-2021 school year. Despite this difference, both schools maintain similar student-teacher ratios of around 12.8 to 12.9 for the 2023-2024 school year.
