Hill Country High School

Public Grades 10-12

Summary

Hill Country High School is a small public high school serving grades 9-12 in the Kerrville Independent School District in Kerrville, TX, with a student population of only 42 as of the 2022-2023 school year.

While Hill Country High School has seen fluctuating academic performance over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from as high as 752 out of 1,876 Texas high schools in 2021-2022 to as low as 1,665 out of 1,857 in 2018-2019, it faces several challenges. The school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 46.15% in 2020-2021 to 80.65% in 2021-2022, suggesting a predominantly low-income student population. Additionally, the school's performance on STAAR EOC exams varies significantly across different student subgroups, with male and Hispanic students generally outperforming female and White students.

When compared to nearby high schools, such as Tivy High School, Harper High School, and Comfort High School, Hill Country High School generally performs worse on academic metrics like STAAR EOC exam proficiency and graduation rates. This suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes at Hill Country High School.
