Summary

Hondo High School is a mid-sized public high school in Hondo, TX, serving 518 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Hondo Independent School District (Isd), and it offers a notably low student-to-teacher ratio of 12.5:1, which is better than nearby Devine High School (13.2:1) and the larger Medina Valley High School (18.3:1).

One of the school's biggest strengths is its English Language Arts program, where students consistently outperform the state average in English I and II, even matching or exceeding scores at the higher-ranked Medina Valley High School. However, this success is sharply contrasted by a persistent weakness in Algebra I, where proficiency rates have hovered between 22% and 34% over the last four years—far below the state average of around 54%. This math gap is a systemic issue that likely starts in middle school, and it's the main reason Hondo's overall state ranking (52nd percentile) lags behind Devine High School (63rd percentile), which excels in math. The school also shows a notable performance gap between male and female students, ranking higher for males, and it provides strong support for its Gifted and Talented students, placing in the 75th percentile statewide.

Despite these challenges, Hondo boasts an exceptionally high graduation rate, consistently above 94% and reaching 99.2% recently, with a very low dropout rate of 0.7%. This raises an important question: are students being pushed through without mastering foundational math skills? For parents, the key takeaway is that Hondo High School offers a supportive environment with small class sizes and a standout English program, but families should be aware of the math struggles and consider how the school plans to address them. If the school can leverage its low student-to-teacher ratio to provide targeted math support, it has a clear path to improving its overall performance and competing more effectively with nearby schools like Devine High School.
