Summary

Aransas Pass High School in Aransas Pass, TX, is a mid-sized high school serving 431 students in grades 9-12 within the Aransas Pass Independent School District (Isd), located in a coastal community where about 65% of students are economically disadvantaged.

This school stands out for its exceptional performance with Gifted and Talented students, ranking in the 75th percentile statewide and earning a 4-star rating—a stark contrast to its overall 36th percentile rank. However, it shows extreme volatility in Special Education, swinging from the 90th percentile one year to the 5th the next. Compared to nearby schools, Aransas Pass is a "middle of the pack" performer in a polarized region: it outperforms struggling schools like Coastal Horizons Academy (8th percentile) and Coles H S And Educational Center (5th percentile), but significantly underperforms top-tier schools like Port Aransas High School (93rd percentile) and Collegiate High School (97th percentile). Notably, it is outperformed by its closest neighbor, Ingleside High School (63rd percentile), just 4 miles away. Despite lower spending ($12,665 per student), the school maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.6:1, lower than many higher-performing peers.

Academically, the school shows subject-specific weaknesses: proficiency in Biology (64.3%) is close to the state average, but Algebra I (48.5%) and U.S. History (51.1%) lag significantly behind. A positive trend is seen in English II Reading, which has steadily improved from 53% to 56.6% over recent years. The school has a strong graduation rate (92.9%) and very low dropout rate (0.6%), but its overall performance has stabilized at a lower level since the pandemic, unable to recover to pre-2019 levels. The primary challenge is translating the success of its Gifted and Talented program and small class sizes into consistent, school-wide improvement.
