Summary:
Fabens Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to a single high school, Fabens High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, and its academic performance lags behind state and district averages across various subjects.
Fabens High School's four-year graduation rate of 84.5% for the 2022-2023 school year is slightly below the state average, while its dropout rate of 1.9% is relatively low. The school's proficiency rates on the STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams are generally lower than the state and district averages, with the highest proficiency rate in Biology at 46.45% and the lowest in English I Reading at 28.5% in the 2024-2025 school year. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $12,609 for the 2020-2021 school year, which is above the state average, it continues to underperform.
The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 87.48% in the 2023-2024 school year, suggests that Fabens ISD serves a predominantly low-income population. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the school's academic challenges, and addressing these challenges will likely require a multifaceted approach that considers teaching quality, curriculum, and school leadership, in addition to funding and resources.
