Summary

Boling High School is a small, rural school in Boling, TX, serving about 328 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Boling Independent School District (Isd), and it stands out for its exceptional graduation rate of 98.6% (2023-2024), which is among the highest in the area, matching top performers like East Bernard High School and Needville High School, while far exceeding larger schools like Bay City High School (92.2%) and Wharton High School (87.7%). With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 14.6:1 and moderate per-student spending of $11,959, the school demonstrates strong student retention and a supportive environment that successfully guides students to completion, though it faces notable academic challenges.

Academically, Boling shows a clear split: it consistently outperforms the state average in English and Reading, with 62.89% of students proficient in English I Reading (vs. 55.43% state), but struggles significantly in Algebra I, where only 18.42% of students are proficient compared to the state average of 54.03%. This Algebra I weakness is a regional issue, but Boling's performance is among the worst in the area, trailing Needville High School (61.54%) and East Bernard High School (29.31%), and only better than Van Vleck High School (0%) and Columbia High School (5.99%). The school's overall state ranking (49th percentile) places it in a stable middle ground, higher than Bay City High School (43rd) and Wharton High School (15th), but lower than Needville High School (85th) and East Bernard High School (83rd).

Two critical areas of concern are the school's support for Special Education and Gifted and Talented students. In the 2025-2026 school year, Boling ranked in the 1st percentile for Special Education students, a sharp decline from the 41st percentile two years prior, and in the 11th percentile for Gifted and Talented students, indicating a failure to challenge its highest-achieving students. Despite these challenges, the school is relatively efficient with its resources, achieving solid graduation rates and average academic performance without the high spending of some peers, such as Van Vleck High School ($18,451 per student). For parents, Boling offers a strong community feel and excellent graduation outcomes, but it's important to investigate how the school addresses math instruction and supports students with special needs or advanced learning requirements.
