Summary:
Silsbee Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to a single high school, Silsbee High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance data suggests it is facing significant academic and socioeconomic challenges compared to state averages.
Silsbee High School has seen its statewide ranking decline over the past three years, from 1403 out of 1987 Texas high schools in 2023-2024 to 1299 out of 1974 in 2024-2025, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. While the school's four-year graduation rate is higher than the state average at 95.6%, its proficiency rates on STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams are generally lower than the state averages, particularly in Algebra I (13.44% vs. 47.01%) and U.S. History (59.24% vs. 67.94%). These performance gaps suggest the Silsbee ISD as a whole is struggling academically compared to other districts in Texas.
Socioeconomic factors may also be contributing to the academic challenges faced by Silsbee High School. The school has a relatively high percentage of students (64.12%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. While the school's student-teacher ratio of 13.2 is slightly lower than the state average, this may not be enough to overcome the challenges posed by the high level of economic disadvantage. The data suggests Silsbee High School and the broader Silsbee ISD would benefit from targeted interventions and support to improve academic performance and address the socioeconomic needs of their student population.
