Summary:
The Hooks Independent School District (Isd) is home to a single high school, Hooks High School, which serves grades 9 through 12 with a total enrollment of 334 students in a small, rural Texas community.
Hooks High School stands out for its exceptional graduation and retention rates, boasting a 98.4% graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate for the 2023-2024 school year. The school also demonstrates clear academic strengths, particularly in Biology, where 81.4% of students were proficient in the 2025-2026 school year—significantly outperforming the state average of 70.51%. English Language Arts is another strong area, with proficiency rates in English I and English II (68.24% and 73.81%, respectively) also exceeding state averages. The school benefits from a low student-teacher ratio of 11.2:1, which supports more individualized attention.
However, the data reveals a critical challenge: while Hooks High School excels in graduation and several subjects, it struggles profoundly in Algebra I and U.S. History. In the 2025-2026 school year, only 20.27% of students were proficient in Algebra I (compared to 54.03% statewide), and only 50.85% were proficient in U.S. History (compared to 70.17% statewide). This creates a "graduation vs. readiness" paradox, where near-perfect graduation rates coexist with low proficiency in key state assessments. The school's overall state ranking has fluctuated, dropping from the 66th percentile in 2023-2024 to a projected 57th percentile for 2025-2026, suggesting that targeted intervention in math and history is needed to ensure students are truly prepared for college or careers.
