Summary

Lee High School in Baytown, TX, is a large comprehensive high school serving 1,747 students in grades 9-12 within the Goose Creek Consolidated Independent School District, where over 74% of students come from low-income households. While the school has faced academic challenges—ranking in the 26th percentile statewide and earning a 1-star rating—it stands out for its high graduation rate of 95.1%, which is competitive with higher-performing peers like Goose Creek Memorial (96.7%) and Sterling High School (94.4%). This suggests a strong focus on keeping students on track to graduate, even when test scores lag behind state averages.

A notable strength is the school's exceptional performance with its Asian student subgroup, which ranked in the 94th percentile statewide in 2023-2024—a stark contrast to the school's overall ranking. Additionally, Lee High School has shown significant progress in supporting English Language Learners, with their ranking jumping from the 18th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 38th percentile in 2025-2026. However, outcomes vary widely across student groups, with White and African American students performing below state averages. The school's proximity to Impact Early College High School (just 0.33 miles away), a magnet school ranking in the 93rd percentile, highlights a stark educational divide within the same district.

Encouragingly, Lee High School has shown modest but steady improvement in English I and II reading scores over the last three years, with English I proficiency rising from 36% to 40% and English II from 40% to 45.5%. The school's per-student spending ($12,600) is higher than that of higher-performing schools like Goose Creek Memorial ($11,627) and Impact Early College ($10,586), indicating that challenges are more about resource allocation than funding levels. For parents, Lee High School offers a strong graduation rate and targeted support for specific student groups, but overall academic performance remains an area for growth.
