Summary:
Orangefield High School is the sole high school in the Orangefield Independent School District (Isd), serving grades 9 through 12 with 563 students in a rural Texas setting.
This school stands out for its exceptional student outcomes, boasting a 97.6% graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate for the 2023-2024 school year. With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.9:1, the school provides a small, supportive environment that likely contributes to keeping students on track. Academically, Orangefield High School excels in U.S. History and Biology, with proficiency rates of 89.17% and 80.31% respectively in the 2025-2026 school year—both well above state averages. The school has maintained a consistent 4-star rating from Schooldigger for three consecutive years, placing it in the top 30% of Texas high schools.
However, there is a notable performance gap in Algebra I, where only 39.51% of students are proficient compared to the state average of 54.03%. This represents a significant area for improvement, especially given the school's strong performance in English I and II Reading, which consistently outpace state averages by nearly 10 points. With 28.77% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch—below the state average—and per-student spending of $12,845, the school demonstrates that targeted resources can yield strong results in most subjects. Addressing the Algebra I deficit could elevate this already solid school from a 4-star to a potential 5-star contender.
