Summary

Kashmere High School in Houston, TX, is a public high school serving 655 students in grades 9 through 12 as part of the Houston Independent School District (Isd), with over 96% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, indicating extremely high economic need in the 77028 area.

Kashmere is a school in transition, showing a powerful upward trend in academic performance over the last three years. Its state ranking has climbed from the 8th percentile to the 24th percentile, with Algebra I proficiency soaring from 9% to 50.81% and Biology from 21% to 60.14%. This improvement is especially notable for English Language Learner students, who jumped from the 9th to the 50th percentile, and Special Education students, who reached the 72nd percentile in 2023-2024. However, the school still lags behind nearby high-performing schools like North Houston Early College High School (96%+ proficiency in all subjects) and Yes Prep - 5th Ward (73%+ in English), while performing on par with other struggling schools like Wheatley High School and KIPP Generations Collegiate.

Despite these academic gains, Kashmere faces a critical challenge with student retention. Its graduation rate dropped from 71.8% to 60.8%, the lowest among comparable nearby schools and over 20 points below the HISD district average of 84.3%. The dropout rate of 6.3% is the highest among its HISD peers, starkly contrasting with North Houston Early College High School (98.1% graduation, 0% dropout) and Mickey Leland College Prep Academy For Young Men (96.5% graduation, 0% dropout). Kashmere spends $12,395 per student, more than these high-performing peers, indicating the challenge lies in resource effectiveness rather than funding. The school's primary task is now to translate its classroom improvements into more students earning diplomas.
