Summary

Daingerfield High School is a small, rural school in Daingerfield, TX, serving 343 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Daingerfield-Lone Star Independent School District (Isd). Despite serving a high-poverty community where nearly 69% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, the school has achieved a perfect 100% graduation rate for the last two years and a 0% dropout rate for five consecutive years—a truly standout accomplishment. With a low student-teacher ratio of 9.6:1, students benefit from more individualized attention than at larger nearby schools like Mount Pleasant High School (12:1) or Pittsburg High School (10.4:1).

What truly sets Daingerfield apart is its exceptional performance with specific student groups. The school ranks in the 90th percentile statewide for Hispanic students and an impressive 98th percentile for English Language Learners, earning top five-star ratings for both. Its Gifted and Talented program also ranks in the 99th percentile. However, the school shows a notable equity gap, as performance for other student groups is more average. When compared to Hughes Springs High School, just 4.78 miles away, Daingerfield has lower test scores in subjects like Biology and English, but it excels at keeping students in school—Hughes Springs has a 1.7% dropout rate, while Daingerfield maintains 0%. This suggests the school prioritizes persistence and inclusion for all students, even those facing significant challenges.

One area of concern is Algebra I, where only 40.7% of students were proficient in the most recent year, a persistent weakness compared to state averages. Test scores overall can be volatile from year to year, but the school’s rock-solid graduation rate shows it is highly effective at ensuring students complete their coursework. For parents seeking a school that goes the extra mile to support diverse learners and keep every student on track to graduate, Daingerfield High School offers a compelling, community-focused option.

This is one of the worst school I have ever seen. They do NOT help learning disabled children, if anything they hold them back. Teachers actively allow bullying of learning disabled children. I've seen teachers not listen to 504 program guidelines. They put freshmen in senior classes and then expect them to do the work but fail them when they can't. Close Quote
