Summary

Fossil Ridge High School in Keller, TX, is a large comprehensive high school serving 2,140 students in grades 9-12 as part of the highly-rated Keller Independent School District (Isd).

Fossil Ridge has experienced a notable decline in its overall state ranking over the past five years, dropping from a top-tier performer to a consistent 3-star rating. This is a key differentiator from its district peers, as Keller High School and Central High School have maintained higher rankings. The school's most significant challenge is in Algebra I, where only 30.85% of students were proficient, a rate dramatically lower than the district average of 55.05% and the state average of 54.03%. This persistent weakness is a major factor in the school's ranking decline. On a positive note, Fossil Ridge is exceptionally effective at serving its English Language Learner students, ranking in the 73rd percentile statewide for this subgroup. The school also performs well in Biology and U.S. History, with proficiency rates exceeding state averages.

Fossil Ridge spends more per student ($9,984) than higher-performing district peers like Keller High ($8,751) and Timber Creek High School ($8,928), suggesting that resource allocation may not be as effective. While the graduation rate has recovered to 94.4%, the dropout rate of 1.0% is double the district average. The school's future success will likely depend on a strategic, school-wide effort to improve foundational math skills, while continuing to build on its strengths in science, history, and support for English Language Learners.
