Summary

Henderson High School in Henderson, TX, serves 1,018 students in grades 9-12 and is part of the Henderson Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 33rd percentile of Texas districts.

Henderson High School has a strong graduation rate of 97.3%, which is excellent and competitive with top-performing nearby schools like Troup High School (98.8%) and West Rusk High School (98.7%). However, this success in keeping students in school is not matched by academic proficiency on state assessments, particularly in math. Algebra I proficiency rates have been consistently low, hovering around 37% in the most recent year compared to the state average of 54%. In contrast, smaller nearby schools like Leveretts Chapel High School (60%) and West Rusk High School (51%) have achieved much higher Algebra I proficiency. A bright spot is U.S. History, where Henderson's proficiency rate (68.72%) is nearly on par with the state average (70.17%).

The school shows inconsistent performance across different student groups. It excels with English Language Learners, who ranked in the 60th percentile statewide, but has seen a concerning decline in support for Special Education students (dropping from the 69th to the 27th percentile) and low socioeconomic status students (dropping from the 55th to the 31st percentile). Compared to nearby schools, Henderson is the largest high school in the area, yet its overall state ranking (35th percentile) is lower than several smaller schools like Troup High School (70th), West Rusk High School (72nd), and Leveretts Chapel High School (77th). This pattern suggests that smaller schools in the region are achieving better academic outcomes, possibly due to lower student-to-teacher ratios.
