High Schools in Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District

The Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District in Texas serves two high schools—Uvalde High School and Crossroads Academy—for grades 9 through 12, and the district as a whole ranks in the 2nd percentile statewide, indicating significant challenges across the board.

Uvalde High School is the district's main comprehensive high school, enrolling 1,148 students and earning a 1-star rating (16th percentile). It outperforms Crossroads Academy in every academic metric, with a graduation rate of 91.9% (compared to 80.4%) and a dropout rate of just 3.4% (versus 7.6%). However, its STAAR test proficiency rates are well below state averages—for example, only 20.93% of students passed Algebra I versus 54.03% statewide. On a positive note, Uvalde High School showed slight year-over-year improvement in Algebra I, English I, and English II from 2024-2025 to 2025-2026. In contrast, Crossroads Academy is a very small alternative school with just 59 students, a 0-star rating (0th percentile), and extreme academic struggles—including 0% proficiency in Algebra I, English I, and English II. Despite spending $28,864 per student (more than double Uvalde High School's $12,329) and having a lower student-teacher ratio of 11.8:1, its outcomes remain critically low.

The most striking takeaway is the spending paradox: Crossroads Academy invests far more per student yet achieves far worse results, suggesting its highly at-risk population (96.61% economically disadvantaged) requires even more intensive support. Meanwhile, Uvalde High School, with 76.13% economically disadvantaged students, performs closer to state averages but still lags significantly. The district's overall graduation rate of 89.7% is dragged down by Crossroads Academy's 80.4% rate, and the 7.6% dropout rate there is nearly three times the district average. For parents, this data highlights a clear divide: Uvalde High School offers a more traditional path with modest improvement trends, while Crossroads Academy serves students with profound needs but faces severe academic hurdles.
