Summary

Hastings High School is a public high school in Houston, Texas, serving 3,867 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Alief Independent School District, which is ranked 743 out of 961 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Hastings High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas high schools, also earning a 1-star rating for several years.

Hastings High School consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages on STAAR End-of-Course exams. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were significantly lower than the district and state in Algebra I, English I Reading, and English II Reading. The school also has a slightly lower 4-year graduation rate of around 85% and a higher dropout rate of around 2% compared to the state averages. Hastings High School serves a large population of economically disadvantaged students (over 80%) and English Language Learners (10-15%), and their performance on state assessments is generally lower than state averages for these subgroups.

Interestingly, Hastings High School's performance is significantly lower than nearby schools in the Alief Independent School District, such as Kerr High School and Alief Early College High School, which have consistently outperformed Hastings on state assessments and have higher graduation rates. Despite being a large high school, Hastings High School has not shown significant improvement in its academic performance or state rankings over the past several years, indicating that the school may need to implement more targeted interventions and support for its students.
