Summary:
The Whitesboro Independent School District (Isd) is served by a single high school, Whitesboro High School, which educates 508 students in grades 9 through 12 and has shown notable academic improvement in recent years.
Whitesboro High School stands out for its strong upward trend in state rankings, moving from a 2-star rating in the 43rd percentile to a 3-star rating in the 56th percentile over the past two years. The school excels particularly in Biology, where 85.83% of students are proficient—over 15 percentage points above the state average. However, performance varies sharply by subject: Algebra I proficiency is a concerning 34.91%, which is 19 points below the state average, though this represents a significant improvement from 24.27% the previous year. The school maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.4:1 and a high graduation rate of 93.6%, despite 57.48% of students being economically disadvantaged. One data anomaly worth noting is that the district's Algebra I score (49.66%) differs from the school's score (34.91%), which may indicate that middle school students taking the test for high school credit are included in the district figure.
Key takeaways for parents include the school's exceptional science instruction and recent gains in math, balanced against ongoing challenges in Algebra I and U.S. History proficiency. The dropout rate of 1.5% is 50% higher than the district average of 1.0%, suggesting a need for targeted support to keep all students on track. Overall, Whitesboro High School offers a solid educational foundation with clear areas of strength and a demonstrated commitment to improvement, making it a school worth considering for families in the area.
