Summary

Van Horn School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in the Culberson County-Allamoore Independent School District, located in Van Horn, Texas. With 393 students, this school stands out for its exceptional graduation and dropout rates, which significantly outperform the state averages.

Van Horn School has maintained a 100% four-year graduation rate for the past two school years, far exceeding the state average. Additionally, the school has reported a 0% dropout rate during the same period, which is much lower than the state's average. These impressive metrics suggest the school is effectively supporting its students, many of whom come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with around 80% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

While Van Horn School's test scores on the STAAR assessments are generally lower than the state averages, particularly in mathematics, the school still performs better than the Culberson County-Allamoore Independent School District as a whole. The school's high per-student spending, around $16,000-$17,000 annually, likely reflects the specialized services and small class sizes needed for an alternative school setting. As the district's only school, Van Horn School appears to be a relative bright spot, and understanding the factors behind its success could provide valuable insights for supporting students in similar circumstances.
