Summary

Farwell High School is a small, rural high school in the Texas Panhandle serving approximately 189 students in grades 9-12, and it is part of the high-performing Farwell Independent School District (Isd).

This school stands out for its strong and consistent academic performance, currently holding a 4-star rating and ranking in the 72nd percentile of all Texas high schools. It has shown a remarkable upward trend, climbing from a low point in the 2020-2021 school year to its current high ranking. The school benefits from a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 8.1:1 and above-average per-pupil spending, which helps create a resource-rich environment. Farwell significantly outperforms its nearest comparable school, Bovina High School, in every subject on state assessments. For example, in Algebra I, Farwell students achieved a 75.68% proficiency rate compared to Bovina's 36.84%, and in Biology, Farwell reached 85.71% versus Bovina's 55.17%. The school also boasts a near-perfect graduation rate of 97.4% and a 0.0% dropout rate, showing its ability to keep students on track.

Farwell excels with specific student groups, ranking in the 95th percentile for Gifted & Talented students and the 84th percentile for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, demonstrating its effectiveness in closing achievement gaps. However, a critical area of concern is its performance with Special Education students, who ranked in the 9th percentile, indicating a significant equity gap that needs attention. Overall, Farwell High School is a top-tier rural school that has engineered a powerful turnaround and provides excellent opportunities for most of its students, though it must focus on improving support for its special education population.
