Summary

Cleburne High School is a large public high school in Cleburne, TX, serving 1,849 students in grades 9-12 within the Cleburne Independent School District (Isd). The school has shown steady, mid-level performance over the past decade, consistently ranking in the 39th to 44th percentile statewide and earning a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. While it boasts a strong graduation rate above 93% and a very low dropout rate, its academic proficiency on state tests reveals a mixed picture, with a notable weakness in Algebra I where only 28.63% of students are proficient—far below the state average of 54.03%.

Compared to nearby schools, Cleburne High School stands out for its stability rather than dramatic swings in performance. For instance, Keene High School has shown significant improvement, jumping from the 48th to the 72nd percentile in recent years, while Rio Vista High School consistently outperforms Cleburne in every subject, with proficiency rates like 77.92% in Algebra I. However, Cleburne excels in Biology and U.S. History, where its proficiency rates (68.82% and 69.38%, respectively) are close to state averages. The school also demonstrates a notable strength in supporting English Language Learners, who ranked in the 50th percentile statewide in 2024-2025, earning a 3-star rating.

Despite its high graduation rate, Cleburne High School faces challenges in preparing students for college and careers, as low STAAR proficiency rates in core subjects like Algebra I and English raise questions about academic readiness. The school struggles with its Gifted and Talented program, which ranked in the 19th percentile in 2025-2026, and its Special Education program, which dropped to the 26th percentile. While the school effectively graduates most students, addressing these academic gaps—particularly in math—will be key to improving its overall performance and breaking out of its long-standing plateau.
