Summary

The Mary Catherine Harris School-School Of Choice is a public high school in Bryan Independent School District, serving grades 9-12 with a small student population of 186. Despite its specialized focus as a "School of Choice," the school has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing high schools in Texas over the past decade, receiving a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for most years.

The school's performance is below average across various student subgroups, with low graduation rates, high dropout rates, and significantly lower test scores compared to district and state averages. While the school has a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio and high per-student spending, it appears to face unique challenges in addressing the needs of its student population, which has a very high percentage of economically disadvantaged students. The school's proximity to several higher-performing high schools within the district, such as James Earl Rudder High School and Travis B Bryan High School, further highlights the stark contrast in academic performance.

Despite the school's specialized focus and available resources, the consistent underperformance across multiple metrics suggests that the challenges faced by The Mary Catherine Harris School-School Of Choice may be more complex and require a comprehensive approach to address the unique needs of its student population. The school's performance data indicates that it is an area of concern within the Bryan Independent School District, and parents may want to consider alternative options for their children's education.
