Summary

Gorman High School is a very small rural school in Gorman, TX, serving 87 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Gorman Independent School District (Isd).

Gorman High School has a strong foundation in student support, with a 100% graduation rate for four of the last five years and a 0% dropout rate for four of the last five years. However, this success in keeping students in school is not translating into high academic achievement on state assessments. The school has seen a significant recent decline in its state ranking, falling from the 51st percentile (3-star) in 2023-2024 to the 22nd percentile (1-star) in 2025-2026. This is the most dramatic negative shift among all nearby schools. In contrast, De Leon High School, a similarly small rural school just 10 miles away, has remained consistently high-performing (82nd-86th percentile, 4-star). Gorman’s performance in Algebra I is a critical weakness, with 0% of students proficient in the most recent year, far below the state average (54%) and significantly worse than nearby schools like Ranger High School (30%) and Rising Star High School (41.67%).

Gorman spends a very high amount per student ($21,894), significantly more than its neighbors (e.g., Eastland High School at $11,927 and De Leon at $13,584), yet this investment is not yielding proportional academic results. The school also has a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 6.6, which should allow for more individualized instruction, but this is not reflected in test scores. The contrast with De Leon High School is striking: De Leon achieves high proficiency across all subjects (e.g., 84% in Biology, 87.5% in English II) with lower per-student spending and a slightly higher student-teacher ratio (8.4). This comparison suggests that Gorman’s challenges are not inherent to being a small, rural school, but are likely related to specific instructional or administrative strategies. Gorman High School is at a critical juncture, needing targeted intervention to improve core instruction, especially in mathematics, and to reverse its recent, sharp decline in academic standing.
