Chico High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas high schools, with a ranking between 860-1429 out of around 1800-1900 high schools over the past 10 years. Its SchoolDigger rating has also been low, ranging from 1 to 3 stars out of 5. The school has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate, ranging from 90% to 94.3% over the past 3 years, but its dropout rate is also higher than the state average, ranging from 0.4% to 1.2% during the same period. Chico High School's STAAR EOC test scores are generally below the state and district averages, particularly in Algebra I and U.S. History. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with its Gifted and Talented students performing well, but its Hispanic, White, English Language Learner, Special Education, and At-Risk students struggling.
Compared to the nearby high schools of Bowie High School and Paradise High School, Chico High School generally performs worse across a range of metrics, including test scores, graduation rates, and student-teacher ratios. Despite its relatively high per-student spending (around $13,600 per student in 2020-2021), the school's overall performance has declined over the past 5-10 years, suggesting that the issue may not be a lack of resources, but rather how those resources are being allocated and utilized to support student learning and achievement.
