Summary:
Central Heights High School is the sole high school in the Central Heights Independent School District (Isd), serving grades 9-12 with 333 students in Nacogdoches, Texas, and the district itself holds a 5-star rating, ranking in the 93rd percentile among all Texas school districts.
This school stands out for its exceptional graduation and dropout rates, achieving a perfect 100% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate for the 2023-2024 school year, which is rare and indicates strong student support. Academically, the school excels in humanities, with U.S. History proficiency at 97.47% and English II Reading at 86.84%, both far exceeding state averages by over 26 percentage points. However, there is a notable concern in math: Algebra I proficiency dropped sharply from 62.9% to 48.44%, falling below the state average of 54.03%. The school’s small size, with a student-teacher ratio of 11.4:1, likely contributes to its success in keeping students on track, though the decline in math scores warrants attention.
Key metrics include a spending per student of $11,341 and 23.12% of students economically disadvantaged. The school consistently earns 4 or 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger, placing in the top 20% of Texas high schools. A puzzling discrepancy exists: the district’s Algebra I score (63.33%) is higher than the high school’s (48.44%), which may reflect data from other grade levels. Overall, Central Heights High School is a high-performing institution with a stellar record of graduating all students, but its recent math struggles contrast sharply with its outstanding humanities performance, making it a school to watch for balanced improvement.
