of 1,974 Texas High Schools

Better than 12% of Texas high schools

Summary

Lbj Echs is a public high school located in Austin, Texas, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 763 students. The school is part of the Austin Independent School District, which is ranked 578 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Lbj Echs has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Texas high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past 10 years.

Lbj Echs significantly underperforms compared to the Austin Independent School District and the state of Texas in STAAR EOC (End of Course) exam proficiency rates across all subjects, including Algebra I, Biology, English I/II Reading, and U.S. History. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's Algebra I proficiency rate was just 10.16%, compared to 42.55% for the district and 47.01% for the state. Lbj Echs also has a lower 4-year graduation rate and a higher dropout rate than the state average. The school serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 73.79% to 79.4% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years.

When comparing Lbj Echs to nearby schools, the academic performance gap is quite stark. For instance, Lasa High School, which is also part of the Austin Independent School District and located just 4.15 miles away, consistently ranks among the top 6 high schools in Texas and has significantly higher proficiency rates on STAAR EOC exams. The higher per-student spending at Lbj Echs ($14,069 in 2020-2021) compared to Lasa High School ($9,936 in 2020-2021) suggests that funding and resource allocation may be a contributing factor to the academic performance gap, and the school may benefit from implementing targeted interventions and support programs to address these areas of concern.
