Summary

Hooks High School is a small, rural school in Hooks, TX, serving 334 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Hooks Independent School District (Isd). The school stands out for its exceptional commitment to keeping students on track, boasting a perfect 0.0% dropout rate over the last five years and a near-perfect 98.4% graduation rate—a record unmatched by nearby peers like Liberty-Eylau High School (1.9% dropout) or Texas High School (1.7% dropout). With a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 11.2:1, the school provides a supportive environment where students are more likely to receive individualized attention.

Academically, Hooks High School shows a fascinating split. It excels in English Language Arts, with 68.24% of students proficient in English I and 73.81% in English II, significantly outperforming the state averages of 55.43% and 59.88%, respectively. It also shines in Biology, with an 81.4% proficiency rate. However, the school struggles in Algebra I, where only 20.27% of students are proficient—far below the state average of 54.03%—and in U.S. History (50.85% vs. 70.17% statewide). This contrast is stark when compared to nearby high-performing schools like Redwater High School, which achieves a 73.13% Algebra I proficiency rate, over 3.5 times higher than Hooks.

The school’s overall ranking has dipped from the 80th percentile in 2021-2022 to the 57th percentile in 2025-2026, but its core strengths—strong ELA scores, high graduation rates, and low dropout rates—remain intact. Performance for specific student groups, such as Gifted and Talented and Special Education students, has been volatile year to year, suggesting a need for more consistent support. For parents, Hooks High School offers a caring, stable environment that prioritizes student retention, but its future success depends on translating its effective teaching strategies in English and science to improve math and history outcomes.
