Summary

Chapel Hill High School in Tyler, TX, is a mid-sized high school serving 990 students in grades 9-12 in a rural/suburban area east of Tyler, and it is part of the Chapel Hill Independent School District (Isd).

The most striking feature of Chapel Hill High School is its exceptional graduation rate. Despite being a below-average performer on state tests compared to other Texas high schools, the school graduates 96.9% of its students—a rate that ties with Tyler High School and surpasses the highly-ranked Whitehouse High School (93.9%). Its dropout rate is virtually zero (0.1%), far better than nearby schools. This "high poverty, high graduation" model is a significant achievement, suggesting strong support systems that keep students on track to earn a diploma, even when standardized test scores are low. The school is notably effective with its English Language Learner (ELL) students, who rank in the 53rd percentile statewide, but it struggles to challenge its Gifted and Talented students, who rank in the 29th percentile.

Academically, the school shows a stark contrast between subjects. It performs at or above the state average in U.S. History (78.69% vs. 70.17% state), but Algebra I is a critical weakness, with only 24.77% of students proficient compared to the state average of 54.03%. This gap has widened significantly in recent years. When compared to nearby Whitehouse High School—a top-tier school just 5.5 miles away—the performance gap is largely driven by socioeconomic factors, not teacher quality. Chapel Hill serves a student body with nearly 80% economic disadvantage, while Whitehouse has only 38.82%. The school's biggest challenge is translating its strong student support into higher academic achievement, ensuring students are truly prepared for college and career.
