Summary

Hawley High School in Hawley, TX, is a small, high-performing public high school serving 216 students in grades 9-12, part of the Hawley Independent School District (Isd). This school stands out dramatically from nearby schools, including Abilene High School and Anson High School, due to its exceptional academic performance and personalized learning environment. With a student-teacher ratio of just 5.9 to 1, students receive far more individualized attention than at larger schools like Abilene High School, which has a ratio of 15.8 to 1. Hawley also boasts a near-perfect graduation rate of 97.7% and a 0.0% dropout rate, significantly outperforming Abilene High School's 91.1% graduation rate and 2.4% dropout rate.

Academically, Hawley High School has shown a remarkable recent surge, jumping from the 53rd percentile statewide to the 81st percentile for the 2025-2026 school year, earning a 4-star rating. The school consistently exceeds state averages on all STAAR End-of-Course exams, with a standout 90.38% proficiency rate in U.S. History compared to 62.53% at Abilene High School. Notably, Hawley excels in serving its economically disadvantaged students, who make up 44% of the student body, ranking in the 87th percentile for this subgroup. However, there is a notable area for improvement: the school's Gifted and Talented program ranks in the bottom 10th percentile, suggesting that while the school is highly effective at bringing students to proficiency, it may not be adequately challenging its highest-achieving learners.

When compared to other regional options like Triumph Public High Schools-Abilene or Woodson Center For Excellence, Hawley is a clear academic leader. The school's higher per-student spending of $14,299, compared to $9,566 at Abilene High School, appears to be strategically invested in staffing and student support, contributing to its superior outcomes. For parents seeking a school with small class sizes, strong test scores, and a commitment to keeping students on track to graduate, Hawley High School offers a compelling option that stands out in the region.
