Summary

Hughes Springs High School is a public high school serving 331 students in grades 9-12 in Hughes Springs, Texas, which is part of the Hughes Springs Independent School District. The school consistently outperforms the state average on STAAR EOC exams, with proficiency rates significantly higher than the state in subjects like Algebra I, Biology, English I Reading, and U.S. History. Additionally, the school maintains a 100% four-year graduation rate and a low dropout rate, well above the state averages.

Compared to nearby high schools like Linden-Kildare High School, Pittsburg High School, and Chapel Hill High School, Hughes Springs High School generally outperforms these schools in academic performance, graduation rates, and student-teacher ratios. However, some nearby schools, such as Ore City High School and Pewitt High School, have shown stronger performance in certain subject areas like U.S. History.

While Hughes Springs High School is a high-performing school, there are some disparities in the performance of different student subgroups, and the school serves a population with a higher proportion of students from low-income families, which may impact academic outcomes and require additional support. The school's leadership and the Hughes Springs Independent School District are committed to addressing these challenges and ensuring equitable outcomes for all students.
