Summary

Judson High School in Converse, TX, is a large public high school serving nearly 2,500 students in grades 9-12 within the Judson Independent School District (Isd), where 74% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. Academically, the school faces significant challenges, with proficiency rates in Algebra I (13.1%) and English I (33.5%) well below state averages, and its state ranking has declined from the 43rd percentile in 2015-2016 to the 19th percentile in 2025-2026. This contrasts sharply with nearby schools like Samuel Clemens High School (28.2% economically disadvantaged, ranking in the 60th-70th percentile) and Randolph High School (8.6% economically disadvantaged, ranking in the 87th-88th percentile), highlighting the impact of economic factors on performance.

Despite these struggles, there are notable bright spots. Pacific Islander students at Judson ranked in the 88th percentile statewide in 2025-2026, earning a 5-star rating—a remarkable outlier that suggests effective support for this small subgroup. Additionally, the school’s graduation rate (85.5%) is slightly above the district average, though its dropout rate (3.0%) is higher than nearby high-performing schools like Samuel Clemens (1.2%) and Randolph (0.0%). The contrast with Judson Early College Academy, a 5-star school just 3 miles away with a 98.9% graduation rate and test scores 2-3 times higher, shows that the district can achieve high outcomes, but scaling that success to a large, comprehensive high school remains a challenge.

A concerning trend is the decline in support for "At Risk" students, whose ranking dropped from the 75th percentile in 2018-2019 to the 22nd percentile in 2021-2022, suggesting eroded interventions. Per-student spending at Judson (~$9,000) is below the state average but comparable to its peer Karen Wagner High School ($8,813) and higher than Samuel Clemens ($7,943), indicating that funding alone doesn't determine success. For parents, this school offers a mixed picture: a large, diverse community with some standout successes, but significant academic challenges and a need for stronger support systems for vulnerable students.
