Summary:
The Wharton Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one high school, Wharton High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, and its academic performance lags behind state averages, particularly in core subjects like Algebra I and English.
Wharton High School's STAAR EOC proficiency rates are significantly lower than the state averages across all subjects, with only 18.62% of students proficient in Algebra I compared to 47.01% statewide, and 32.09% and 29.76% proficient in English I and II Reading, respectively, compared to 51.26% and 56.22% statewide. The school's four-year graduation rate of 91.0% is slightly lower than the state average, and its dropout rate of 1.8% is on par with the state.
Despite the school's relatively higher spending per student of $11,405 and a student-teacher ratio of 13.5, which is slightly lower than the state average, Wharton High School's academic performance remains a concern. The high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 69.18%, suggests that the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, and targeted interventions and resource allocation strategies may be necessary to improve student outcomes.
