Summary:
The El Campo Independent School District (Isd) is served by a single high school, El Campo High School, which educates 1,002 students in grades 9 through 12 and is located in a community where 62.57% of students are economically disadvantaged.
El Campo High School stands out for its exceptional graduation rate of 97.6% and a zero dropout rate for the 2023-2024 school year, a remarkable achievement given that its proficiency rates in some core subjects trail state averages. The school demonstrates a clear strength in literacy, consistently exceeding the state average in both English I Reading (56.69% vs. 55.43%) and English II Reading (64.09% vs. 59.88%) for the 2025-2026 school year. However, it faces challenges in math and social studies, with Algebra I proficiency at 41.78% (below the state's 54.03%) and U.S. History at 65.16% (below the state's 70.17%). A notable bright spot is the dramatic 17-percentage-point improvement in Algebra I from the previous year, suggesting effective new interventions are taking hold.
An interesting finding is that while the school's state ranking has remained stable around the 52nd percentile, its test scores show significant year-over-year volatility, indicating it is improving at a similar pace to other Texas schools. Additionally, the district's overall Algebra I proficiency rate (48.84%) is higher than the high school's rate (41.78%), which implies that younger students taking the test in middle school are performing better than the high school cohort. Overall, El Campo High School provides a strong, supportive environment that prioritizes keeping students on track to graduate, with a proven track record in English and promising momentum in mathematics.
