Summary

Forsan High School is a small, rural public school in Forsan, TX, serving 352 students in grades 6 through 12, and is the sole high school within the Forsan Independent School District (Isd). The school has a strong, above-average standing, ranking in the 71st percentile of Texas high schools for the 2025-2026 school year, and boasts exceptionally high graduation rates (96.8%) and very low dropout rates (0.3%). With a low student-to-teacher ratio of 11.4:1, the school offers a personalized learning environment that helps keep students on track to graduate.

Forsan excels in English Language Arts and Science, with proficiency rates in English I (78.26%) and Biology (80.85%) significantly higher than the state average and far exceeding those of nearby Big Spring High School (44.94% and 64.32%, respectively). However, the school faces challenges in Mathematics and Social Studies, with Algebra I proficiency (43.48%) below the state average and 8th-grade Social Studies proficiency (15.38%) less than half the state average. When compared to its neighbors, Forsan clearly outperforms Big Spring and Coahoma High School in overall ranking, but is decisively outranked by Garden City High School, which benefits from significantly higher per-student spending ($24,156 vs. Forsan's $12,488).

Forsan is particularly effective with its low socio-economic status students, ranking in the 78th percentile for this subgroup, which indicates the school is successfully closing opportunity gaps. The school’s per-student spending ($12,488) is higher than Big Spring ($10,816) and comparable to Coahoma ($12,325), but less than half of Garden City’s. While Forsan cannot compete with the resource-rich Garden City, it stands as a strong and stable educational option that significantly outperforms its larger neighbor, Big Spring, in nearly every academic metric, including a much higher graduation rate (96.8% vs. 90.0%) and a drastically lower dropout rate (0.3% vs. 2.1%).
