Summary

Lone Star H S North (Tjjd) in Austin, TX, is a small alternative high school serving 162 students in grades 9-12, and it is part of the Lone Star School District, which ranks near the bottom of Texas school districts.

This school is a specialized campus for students involved in the juvenile justice system, which sets it apart from nearby traditional schools like Austin High School (where 76% of students are proficient in English I Reading) or Eastside Early College High School. Its academic performance is critically low, with 0% proficiency in Algebra I and just 2% in English I Reading in recent years. The most relevant comparisons are with other alternative campuses, such as Travis County J J A E P and Alternative Learning Center, which also serve high-need populations and have similarly low test scores. Even among these peers, Lone Star H S North struggles more in core subjects like math and reading.

Despite the challenges, there are a few notable findings. The school shows a relative strength in U.S. History, where 31.58% of students were proficient in 2023-2024, compared to 0% in Algebra I. Additionally, Special Education students ranked in the 46th percentile statewide in 2021-2022, suggesting the school was once relatively effective for this group. However, this has since dropped to the 17th percentile. The school does not report spending per student, but nearby alternative campuses spend over $150,000 per student, reflecting the intensive resources required. Given the nature of the student body, the dropout rate is likely high, similar to the 38.1% rate at Texans Can Academy - Austin.
