Summary:
Queen City Independent School District (Isd) is served by a single high school, Queen City High School, a small rural institution with 259 students in grades 9-12 that defines the district's entire academic reputation.
Queen City High School excels at keeping students on track, boasting a standout 98.9% graduation rate and a perfect 0.0% dropout rate for the 2023-2024 school year. This is particularly impressive given that 56.37% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school benefits from a very low student-teacher ratio of 7.6:1 and per-student spending of $13,825, suggesting small class sizes and individualized attention. However, academic performance is mixed. The school consistently outperforms the state average in English I Reading (59.09% proficient vs. 55.43% state in 2025-2026) and has shown strength in U.S. History. In contrast, there is a dramatic decline in Algebra I proficiency, dropping from 40.35% to just 21.57% in one year, which is 32.46 percentage points below the state average. Biology scores also lag behind state averages.
The school's state ranking has fallen from the 59th percentile in 2024-2025 to the 38th percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 2-star rating. This creates a paradox: the school is excellent at graduating students, but a significant portion may not be achieving proficiency in core subjects like math and science. For parents, this means Queen City High School offers a supportive environment with strong student persistence, but families should be aware of the need for targeted support in STEM areas, particularly Algebra I, to ensure academic readiness beyond high school.
