Summary

Apple Springs High School is a very small, rural public school in Apple Springs, TX, serving 96 students in grades 7 through 12 within the Apple Springs Independent School District (Isd). The school’s most defining strength is its perfect record: a 100% graduation rate and 0% dropout rate for five consecutive years (2019-2024), a standout achievement compared to nearby schools like Corrigan-Camden High School (91.1% graduation) and Groveton J H-H S (87.7% graduation). This suggests a highly supportive, tight-knit community where every student is guided to finish.

With an extremely low student-to-teacher ratio of 10.5:1, Apple Springs offers personalized attention that larger schools like Diboll High School (13.5:1) and Hudson High School (12.2:1) cannot match. The school also invests heavily per student—$15,617 annually—more than top-performing neighbors like Pineywoods Community Academy High School ($10,951). However, this investment hasn’t yet translated into consistent top-tier test scores. Academic performance is volatile, with dramatic year-to-year swings: for example, 8th-grade Science proficiency soared to 90% in 2024-2025, but 7th-grade Math dropped to just 7.14% the following year. High school End-of-Course exams in Biology and English II often meet or exceed state averages, while middle school scores lag behind.

Compared to regional leaders like Pineywoods Community Academy (87th percentile) and Hudson High School (75th percentile), Apple Springs ranks lower overall (36th percentile, 2 stars) but excels in student retention. The school shows notable strengths with specific groups, such as Gifted & Talented students (73rd percentile) and male students (56th percentile), though performance for other groups varies. In essence, Apple Springs is a “no-student-left-behind” school that guarantees graduation through individual attention, but its challenge is to convert that support into more consistent academic achievement across all subjects and grade levels.
