Summary

Robert M Shoemaker High School in Killeen, TX, is a large comprehensive high school serving 2,165 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Killeen Independent School District (Isd), where about 61% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom third of Texas high schools, but it shows notable strengths in specific areas, including strong performance for Gifted and Talented students and English Language Learners, who both earned 3-star ratings in the 2025-2026 school year.

The school's biggest academic challenge is Algebra I, where only 20.67% of students were proficient in 2025-2026—less than half the district average and the lowest rate among all standard comprehensive high schools in the district. For comparison, Chaparral High School, located just 6.88 miles away, outperforms Shoemaker in every subject, with a 54th percentile ranking versus Shoemaker's 25th percentile. However, Shoemaker shows relative strength in U.S. History, where 65.14% of students are proficient, close to state averages, and its graduation rate of 88.2% is slightly above the district average, indicating the school successfully keeps students on track to graduate despite lower test scores.

While the school's overall ranking has remained low, there are positive trends for specific student groups. The school has shown remarkable improvement in serving "At Risk" students, jumping from the 24th percentile in 2018-2019 to the 53rd percentile by 2021-2022. However, performance for Low Socioeconomic Status students has declined, dropping from a 2-star to a 1-star rating in recent years. Nearby, the Killeen Independent School District (Isd) Early College High School achieves near-perfect proficiency rates but has a selective admissions process, making it an apples-to-oranges comparison that highlights the wide range of educational outcomes within the same district.

I wouldn't recommend anyone send their child to Shoemaker high school unless they make some drastic changes the children are out of control and the teachers are too! Since when did it become OK for a male teacher I'm sorry not a teacher a male coach threaten a female student which I have on recording where he admitted that he said it wasn't gonna be anything nice hadcshe come any closer to him...since when did it become OK for another coach to put a student in a headlock He was banned from games for a while but still employed so these are the kind of teachers that they allow to teach our children and they wonder why the children are so out-of-control!
