Summary

Follett School is a small, rural PK-12 school in the Texas Panhandle serving 182 students within the Follett Independent School District (Isd). This school stands out for its perfect 100% graduation rate and zero dropout rate over the last four years, showing a strong commitment to seeing every student through to completion. With a low student-to-teacher ratio of 9.4:1, students receive plenty of individual attention, though about 52% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, indicating a moderate level of economic diversity.

Academically, Follett shows a clear split between subjects. Social studies is a major strength, with U.S. History End-of-Course (EOC) scores consistently high—92.3% proficient in 2024-2025—far exceeding state averages. However, mathematics is a persistent challenge across all grade levels, with only 5% of 5th graders and 20% of 7th graders proficient in math in 2024-2025. English and science scores are mixed, with English II outperforming the nearby Darrouzett Schools (63.6% vs. 20%) but English I falling behind (59.1% vs. 75%). Biology scores at Follett (56.5%) are significantly lower than Darrouzett’s 90.9%, while Algebra I is a relative bright spot (68.2% vs. 54.5%).

Compared to Darrouzett, which is even smaller (86 students) with a higher poverty rate (68.6%) and an even lower student-teacher ratio (5.3:1), Follett offers a larger student body and more diverse social opportunities. The school’s small size leads to volatile test scores from year to year, making it hard to spot clear trends, but the consistent math weakness is a red flag for parents. While Follett excels at graduating students, the quality of education—especially in math—needs improvement to ensure students are truly ready for college or careers. Per-student spending has also decreased from $16,820 to $12,402 in recent years, which may impact resources.
