Summary

Bastrop High School is a large public high school in Bastrop, TX, serving 1,767 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Bastrop Independent School District (Isd).

Bastrop High School stands out as the top-performing comprehensive high school in its immediate area, consistently outperforming nearby schools like Cedar Creek High School, Elgin High School, and Del Valle High School on state assessments. For example, its Algebra I proficiency rate is nearly five times higher than Cedar Creek's. The school also boasts the highest graduation rate in the region—consistently above 97%—and an extremely low dropout rate, indicating a strong system for keeping students on track to earn their diplomas. Additionally, with a student-teacher ratio of 16.1, Bastrop offers more individual attention than many of its peers, including Cedar Creek (18.5) and Elgin (19.0).

Despite these strengths, Bastrop High School presents a notable paradox: while it excels at graduating students, academic proficiency on core subjects like Algebra I and English I lags behind the state average. This suggests the school may prioritize credit recovery and graduation pathways over deep mastery of grade-level content. The presence of the nearby Colorado River Collegiate Academy, a high-performing magnet school that draws many of the district's top students, likely impacts Bastrop's test scores. The school also faces a persistent challenge in closing the achievement gap for its low-income students, who have consistently performed below state averages. Overall, Bastrop is a stable, comprehensive school that is a clear leader among its immediate peers, but its primary challenge is to raise academic proficiency, particularly in math and reading, to match its impressive graduation success.
