Summary

Gary School in Gary, TX, is a small, rural PK-12 alternative school serving 476 students within the Gary Independent School District (Isd). The school stands out for its perfect 100% graduation rate and a very low dropout rate of 0.5%, which are exceptional achievements compared to nearby schools like Joaquin Schools (95.9% graduation) and Timpson School (96.5% graduation). However, the school faces significant academic challenges, particularly in mathematics, where scores have declined dramatically over recent years—for example, 8th-grade math proficiency dropped from 31% in 2022-2023 to 0% in 2025-2026, far below the state average of 47.24%.

Reading performance at Gary School shows an interesting "U-shaped" pattern. While 6th-grade reading scores are low at 22.5% (compared to the state average of 53.52%), the school sees a remarkable bounce in 8th grade, where 73.08% of students are proficient—outperforming the state (58.69%) and all nearby schools, including Tenaha Schools (28.57%). This suggests effective instruction in upper-grade reading. Similarly, high school End-of-Course exams show competitive results, with U.S. History scores reaching 84.85%, the highest among peers and well above the state average of 67.94%. The school also spends less per student ($11,049) than nearby districts like Joaquin ($16,883) and Timpson ($12,564).

Despite a high rate of economic disadvantage (65.55% of students receiving free or reduced lunch), Gary School demonstrates that poverty alone does not determine outcomes—Tenaha Schools, with a 90.82% disadvantage rate, outperforms Gary in some math grades. The school's primary takeaway is a need for urgent, systemic improvement in mathematics instruction, while its successes in 8th-grade reading and high school EOC exams offer promising practices to replicate. For parents, Gary School provides a supportive environment that keeps students on track to graduate, but academic growth in math requires focused attention.
