Summary

Gary W Campbell High School is a small public high school serving grades 9-12 in Kaufman, Texas, with an enrollment of just 22 students. The school is part of the Kaufman Independent School District, which is ranked 547 out of 961 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its small size, Gary W Campbell High School faces significant challenges. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 30% of Texas high schools over the past 10 years, with rankings ranging from 1170 out of 1961 schools in 2022-2023 to 1777 out of 1987 schools in 2023-2024. While the school has reported high 4-year graduation rates in recent years (up to 98.7%), these rates are still lower than the 98.7% rate reported by the larger Kaufman High School. Additionally, the school's STAAR EOC test scores lag behind both the Kaufman Independent School District and the state of Texas averages across multiple subjects and grade levels.

One interesting finding is that the school's performance on STAAR EOC tests varies significantly by student subgroup, with female students ranking in the top 12% of Texas high schools in 2022-2023, while male students ranked in the bottom 26%. The school also has a very high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 63.64% to 92.59% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch over the past few years. Despite these challenges, Gary W Campbell High School spends significantly more per student ($30,825 to $38,745 in recent years) compared to the nearby Kaufman High School ($10,312 per student) and other area high schools.
