Summary:

The Deer Park Independent School District (Isd) serves approximately 10,488 students across 14 campuses, including 8 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school, and is ranked in the 69th percentile among Texas districts.

The district features a clear "corridor of excellence" from Fairmont Elementary to Fairmont J H, both top performers in their categories. Fairmont J H holds a 5-star rating and ranks in the 90th percentile, while Fairmont Elementary earns a 4-star rating. In contrast, Deepwater Elementary is the most challenged school with a 1-star rating and only 24.64% of 3rd graders proficient in math. Deer Park Elementary stands out for equity, achieving a 4-star rating and 81st percentile ranking despite a moderate free/reduced lunch rate of 36.16%. Deer Park High School shows improvement, rebounding to a 4-star rating in 2025-2026 after a dip, with a strong 94.2% graduation rate.

A key strength is middle school math: every middle school achieves near-perfect or perfect proficiency on the Algebra I EOC exam, indicating an effective system for accelerating top math students. However, significant disparities exist, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 34.36% at Deer Park High School to 83.31% at Deepwater Elementary. Per-student spending also varies widely, from $9,552 at Deer Park Elementary to $13,314 at Deepwater Elementary, yet the academic gap remains stark. The alternative school, H S Point, serves only 8 students with a 0.0% dropout rate, though its academic effectiveness is unmeasured due to missing test scores.
