Summary:
Hondo Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to a single high school, Hondo High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school boasts a high four-year graduation rate of 99.2% and a low dropout rate of 0.6%, its statewide ranking has declined in recent years, from 831 out of 1,961 Texas high schools in 2022-2023 to 1,007 out of 1,974 in 2024-2025.
Hondo High School's academic performance on STAAR end-of-course exams is mixed, with the school performing better than the state average on the U.S. History exam but lagging behind on Algebra I, Biology, English I Reading, and English II Reading. Additionally, a significant portion (59.65%) of the school's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite the high spending per student ($10,905) in the Hondo Independent School District, the school's declining statewide ranking suggests that this investment may not be translating into improved academic outcomes.
Overall, while Hondo High School has some positive metrics, such as a high graduation rate and low dropout rate, its mixed academic performance and declining statewide ranking indicate that there may be room for improvement. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and the district's relatively high spending per student are also important factors to consider in understanding the school's challenges and potential areas for growth.
