Summary

Connally is a small high school in Kenedy, TX, serving 83 students in grades 9-12 and is part of the The Excel Center (For Adults) district, which ranks in the bottom 12% of Texas districts. The school faces severe challenges, most notably an extraordinarily high dropout rate of 25.8% for the 2023-2024 school year, which is over 20 times higher than nearby schools like Falls City High School (0.0%) and Kenedy High School (1.1%). Academic performance is critically low, with 0% of students proficient in Algebra I compared to the state average of 54%, and only 38.46% proficient in Biology versus the state average of 70.51%. The student-teacher ratio of 20.7 is the highest in the area, nearly double that of Kenedy High School (10.5), suggesting larger class sizes and less individualized attention.

Despite these struggles, there is a glimmer of hope in English II Reading, where 57.14% of students scored proficient, approaching the state average of 59.88% and significantly higher than the district average of 33.57%. However, this score shows volatility, having jumped from 26.67% the previous year. The school's performance with specific student groups is particularly concerning, with Hispanic students ranking in the 6th percentile statewide, and male students and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds both ranking in the 15th percentile. This indicates the school is struggling to serve its most vulnerable populations effectively.

The contrast with Kenedy High School, located just 3.93 miles away, is stark. While Kenedy High School also has low overall performance (29th percentile), it boasts a 90% graduation rate and a 1.1% dropout rate, compared to Connally's 25.8% dropout rate. This suggests Connally's problems are systemic and tied to its unique district structure rather than just community demographics. The school lacks transparency in key areas, with no available data on free/reduced lunch rates, graduation rates, or spending, making it difficult to assess its trajectory. For parents, Connally represents a school in crisis, with a dropout rate and academic failures that far exceed any nearby option.
