Summary

Huston Academy is a very small public high school in Stephenville, TX, serving just 35 students in grades 9-12 and operating under the Erath Excels Academy Inc district, which ranks in the bottom 6% of all Texas school districts. With a student-teacher ratio of 5.4:1, this school offers an incredibly personalized learning environment that is dramatically smaller than nearby schools like Stephenville High School, which has 1,079 students and a 13.2:1 ratio. However, this small size has not translated into strong academic outcomes—the school's overall state rank sits at the 30th percentile, far below the 75th percentile of Stephenville High School and the 85th percentile of Dublin High School.

Huston Academy presents a fascinating paradox: despite low test scores, it boasts a very high graduation rate of 95.5% and a low dropout rate of 2.3%. This suggests the school is effective at keeping students on track to earn diplomas, even if they struggle to meet state proficiency benchmarks. The school's performance has been highly volatile over the past decade, ranging from the 13th to the 68th percentile, and recent scores show concerning declines in core subjects—only 40% of students are proficient in Algebra I and 25% in English I, compared to 57.8% and 64.86% respectively at Stephenville High School. Even Three Way JH/High School, another small school with 76 students, outperforms Huston in English I (40% vs. 25%) and English II (66.67% vs. 37.5%).

One standout achievement is the school's historical performance with low socio-economic status students, who ranked in the 97th percentile statewide in 2023-2024—a remarkable feat for a school where 77% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. While this performance has since dropped to the 58th percentile, it indicates a capacity to achieve exceptional outcomes for disadvantaged students. For parents considering Huston Academy, the school offers an intimate, supportive environment with strong graduation rates, but families should be aware that academic proficiency in core subjects lags significantly behind neighboring schools like De Leon High School (83rd percentile) and Hico High School.
