Summary

Edinburg High School is a large, comprehensive public high school in Edinburg, TX, serving 2,267 students in grades 9-12 within the Edinburg Consolidated Independent School District, where over 84% of students come from low-income households. The school has historically ranked in the 31st to 45th percentile statewide, with its most recent ranking placing it in the 36th percentile, showing stable but below-average academic performance compared to state standards.

On STAAR End-of-Course exams, Edinburg High School scores below both district and state averages in most subjects, with a notable gap in English I Reading where only 32% of students are proficient versus 55% statewide. The school's dropout rate of 2.3% is higher than the district average of 1.4% and significantly higher than nearby Robert R. Vela High School (0.9%), which serves a similar-sized student body but with a lower poverty rate. However, Edinburg High School consistently outperforms the district in U.S. History, with 65% of students proficient, suggesting a potential area of instructional strength. The school's graduation rate of 90.2% lags behind the district's 92.4% and Vela's 94.3%.

Performance for specific student groups is inconsistent, with Special Education and Migrant students showing volatile results from year to year. The school spends about $11,600 per student, comparable to Vela High School, and maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.5, indicating that funding and class sizes are not the primary obstacles. Within the same district, Edinburg Collegiate High School is a selective magnet school achieving a 5-star rating, drawing higher-performing students and highlighting the structural challenges comprehensive high schools face. The school's stable performance despite serving a high-poverty population suggests it is effectively managing significant socioeconomic barriers, though closing the achievement gap with more affluent neighbors remains a key challenge.
