Summary:
The Santa Anna Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one high school, Santa Anna Secondary, which serves grades 9-12. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 514th out of 1,961 Texas high schools in 2022-2023 to 1,218th out of 1,974 in 2024-2025. Despite this, the school has maintained a 100% four-year graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate, which are commendable achievements.
Santa Anna Secondary's performance on STAAR tests is generally below the state average, with proficiency rates ranging from 4.55% in 8th grade Social Studies to 84.62% in U.S. History. The school has a small student population of 107 students, all of whom are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school district is ranked 847th out of 961 districts in Texas and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, suggesting it may face resource and funding challenges.
Despite the higher per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio of 8:1 at Santa Anna Secondary, the school's performance on STAAR tests remains below the state average. This raises questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources within the school and district. The school's impressive graduation and dropout rates suggest that it is successful in supporting students through to graduation, and understanding the strategies and practices that contribute to these outcomes could provide valuable insights for other schools facing similar challenges.
