Summary

Lehman High School in Kyle, TX, is a large comprehensive high school serving 2,128 students in grades 9-12 within the Hays Consolidated Independent School District, and it is a school on a clear upward trajectory, recently earning a 3-star rating after years of lower rankings.

While Lehman's overall academic performance on core STAAR exams is lower than its district peers, Moe And Gene Johnson High School and Jack C Hays High School, the school shows notable strengths with specific student groups. For instance, Lehman performs exceptionally well for its African American students and English Language Learner students, ranking in the 70th and 69th percentiles respectively. The school also serves a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students (over 56% qualify for free or reduced lunch) compared to its peers. A critical area for improvement is Algebra I, where only 37.24% of students are proficient, a significant gap from the state average of 54.03%. The school's graduation rate (89.0%) is lower than Johnson (93.2%) and Hays (94.8%), and its dropout rate (1.9%) is nearly double.

The most compelling story is Lehman's recent improvement. After years of ranking in the low-to-mid 30th percentile, the school has climbed to the 51st percentile in the 2025-2026 school year, a jump of nearly 20 percentile points. This positive trend is seen across many student subgroups, including White, Hispanic, and low socio-economic status students. Interestingly, Lehman is located less than a mile from Idea Kyle College Preparatory, a charter school with significantly higher test scores, creating a competitive educational landscape. Despite these challenges, Lehman's recent gains suggest that new initiatives are beginning to yield positive results, making it a school to watch for families in the Kyle area.

Try not to send your kid here. The school has to many social problems to overcome to be successful. High drop out rate. High teenage bith rate. My child left completely unprepared for college. She has to take remedial courses in math and english at a community college. If you have an issue with the school administration it falls on deaf ears. Kids are not allowed to take school textbooks home. School staff told me they are afraid the books get stolen. Difficult study environment. There is no SAT prep. The school environment will bring your kids education level down. Kids at other schools have counselors help with college admissions and scholarship applications. At lehman your are on your own. I am truly disgusted with the admin staff, teacher quality, school environment and academics. Close Quote

Lehman is absolutely the worse High School I have ever been associated with. Yes my son did graduate but Lehman just pushes students through. The administration is very bad and they do not support the parents. They give more rights to the students and do not help the parents in guiding their student to do what is right. I would not let my child attend this high school and I will not have my 2 younger children attend. I'd rather send them to a private school than to be associated with this terrible school. If I could give a quarter star I would but 1 star was the minimum. Close Quote
