Summary:
The Cotulla Independent School District (Isd) in Texas is home to a single high school, Cotulla High School, which serves grades 9-12. While the school has a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 95.5% and a low dropout rate of 0.7%, its academic performance on STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams has been mixed compared to state and district averages, with stronger results in English I and II Reading but lagging behind in Algebra I, Biology, and U.S. History.
Cotulla High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas high schools over the past few years, with a statewide ranking of 1279 out of 1974 schools in the 2024-2025 school year. This suggests a need for improvement in the school's overall academic performance. Additionally, a high percentage (88.39%) of Cotulla High School students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population that may face socioeconomic challenges.
Despite the school's academic challenges, it does have some potential strengths, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.1 to 1 and a high level of per-student spending at $17,591, which is higher than the state average. These factors could be leveraged to support student success, but the data suggests that the funding may not be effectively translating into improved academic outcomes for the school.
