Summary
Everman High School in Everman, TX, is a large public high school serving 1,529 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Everman Independent School District (Isd), a district ranked in the bottom 14% of Texas school districts. The school has a 1-star rating and a state percentile rank of 22, with over 95% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, indicating a very high level of economic disadvantage. Despite these challenges, Everman High maintains a stable graduation rate of around 89-91%, which is competitive with nearby schools like Crowley High School (90.7%) and significantly better than O D Wyatt High School (80.5%).
Academically, the school shows a stark contrast between subjects. Algebra I proficiency is alarmingly low at just 16.21%, which is less than a third of the state average (54.03%) and a persistent weakness compared to all nearby schools, including those with similar demographics. However, U.S. History is a relative strength, with 63.61% of students proficient, outperforming the district average of 58.2%. The school also has a notable bright spot with its English Language Learner (ELL) students, who ranked in the 44th percentile statewide in 2025-2026, significantly higher than the school's overall rank. In comparison, Burleson Centennial High School, just 5.48 miles away, serves a more affluent population and achieves dramatically higher proficiency rates, such as 75.35% in Biology versus Everman's 56.77%.
An interesting finding is the volatility of the Gifted and Talented (GT) program, which saw its statewide percentile rank swing from the 62nd percentile in 2024-2025 to the 32nd percentile in 2025-2026, possibly due to small sample sizes. Additionally, Everman Academy High School, located just 0.58 miles away, serves only 68 students and has near-zero test scores but a similar graduation rate (90.8%), suggesting it functions as a credit-recovery campus. Per-student spending at Everman High ($10,814) is in the middle of the pack compared to peers, indicating that resource allocation, rather than total funding, may be key to addressing the school's significant academic challenges.
