Lighthouse High has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Texas high schools over the past three years, with significantly below-average performance on STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams across all subjects. The school's dropout rates, ranging from 2.6% to 6.1% over the past three years, are also significantly higher than the state average. Lighthouse High serves a predominantly Hispanic student population, with a high percentage of English Language Learner (ELL) and Special Education students, as well as a very high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.
