Summary

Ganado High School is a small, rural school in Ganado, TX, serving 221 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Ganado Independent School District (Isd). One of its standout features is an exceptionally low student-to-teacher ratio of 11.3:1, which creates a highly personalized learning environment. This small-school advantage shines through in Algebra I, where 67.39% of students are proficient—well above the state average of 54.03% and significantly higher than nearby El Campo High School (41.78%) and Louise High School (32%). The school also excels with its Gifted and Talented students, who rank in the 76th percentile statewide, indicating a strong program for high-achieving learners.

However, performance is uneven across subjects. While Algebra I is a clear strength, U.S. History is a notable weakness, with only 55.77% of students proficient compared to the state average of 70.17%. This is the lowest score among all subjects tested and lags behind Industrial High School (92%) and Edna High School (63.1%). The school also struggles with its economically disadvantaged students, who ranked in the 26th percentile in 2025-2026, and shows volatile results for Special Education students, who jumped from the 20th percentile to the 71st percentile in just one year. This suggests that support for at-risk groups may be inconsistent.

Despite these academic challenges, Ganado boasts a perfect 100% graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year, a remarkable achievement that contrasts with its middling test scores. The most striking comparison is with Industrial High School, just 16 miles away, which outperforms Ganado in every subject and holds a 5-star rating. Industrial serves a lower percentage of economically disadvantaged students (31.03% vs. Ganado's 56.11%), highlighting the significant impact of socioeconomic factors. For parents, Ganado offers a tight-knit community with strong math instruction and a stellar graduation rate, but may need to focus on improving history and science outcomes for all students.
