Edcouch-Elsa H S Academy

Public Grades 9-12

Summary

Edcouch-Elsa H S Academy is a small public high school located in Elsa, Texas, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of just 39 students. The school is part of the Edcouch-Elsa Independent School District, which is ranked 900 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Edcouch-Elsa H S Academy consistently ranks among the lowest-performing high schools in Texas, with rankings between 1577 and 1960 out of around 1,800-1,900 high schools over the past several years. The school's performance on STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams is also very low, with proficiency rates well below the state and district averages across all subject areas. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 78.3% and 90.8% in recent years, which is below the state average, and dropout rates have also been high, ranging from 2.8% to 18.8% over the same period.

Interestingly, the nearby Edcouch-Elsa High School, which is part of the same district, performs significantly better than Edcouch-Elsa H S Academy on most metrics, including academic performance, graduation rates, and dropout rates. Additionally, two nearby Idea Public Schools charter schools, Idea Weslaco Pike College Preparatory and Idea College Prep Weslaco, outperform Edcouch-Elsa H S Academy on academic measures and have higher graduation rates, despite serving similar student demographics. This suggests that the challenges faced by Edcouch-Elsa H S Academy may be specific to the smaller school or its student population, and that targeted interventions and support may be needed to address these issues.
