Summary:
The Daingerfield-Lone Star Independent School District (Isd) is home to a single high school, Daingerfield High School, which serves 343 students in grades 9 through 12 in a rural East Texas area where nearly 69% of students are economically disadvantaged.
Daingerfield High School stands out as a clear bright spot within its district, achieving a 3-star rating and ranking in the 59th percentile among Texas high schools for the 2025-2026 school year—a remarkable 15-percentile-point jump from the prior year. This is especially notable because the district itself ranks in the 22nd percentile, suggesting the high school significantly outperforms the district's elementary and middle schools. The school boasts a perfect 100% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate for the 2023-2024 school year, paired with a very low student-teacher ratio of 9.6 to 1 and a relatively high spending of $13,884 per student, indicating a high-touch, well-funded learning environment.
Academically, the school excels in English, consistently beating state averages in English I and II Reading, with a 67.21% proficiency in English I compared to the state's 55.43%. However, a critical weakness persists in Algebra I, where only 40.74% of students are proficient—13.29 percentage points below the state average. While this represents a massive improvement from the previous year's abysmal 18.18% proficiency, the volatility in math scores warrants close monitoring. Overall, Daingerfield High School is a strong, improving school that excels at keeping students on track to graduate, though it must continue to focus on foundational math skills.
