Summary

La Grange High School in La Grange, TX, serves approximately 600 students in grades 9-12 within the La Grange Independent School District (Isd), a district ranked in the top 25% of Texas school districts. The school has a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 11.8:1 and consistently earns a 3-star rating, placing it in the 64th percentile statewide—a solid, middle-of-the-pack performance that has remained stable over the past five years.

What sets La Grange apart from nearby schools like Smithville High School and Schulenburg Secondary is its consistent academic performance above the state average in core subjects like Biology, English I & II, and U.S. History. However, the school has a notable weakness in Algebra I, where proficiency rates (42.3%) fall well below the state average (54.0%). This "Algebra I paradox" contrasts with its otherwise strong results. Additionally, La Grange excels with its Gifted and Talented students, ranking in the top 20% of the state, but struggles with its economically disadvantaged students, who earn a 2-star rating. While Weimar High School is the top-ranked school in the area, La Grange serves a larger and more diverse student body, achieving solid results with a lower percentage of students receiving free/reduced lunch.

Graduation rates have shown some volatility, dropping from 97.5% in 2020-2021 to 90.3% in 2022-2023 before recovering slightly to 91.1%. This fluctuation suggests a small but significant number of students may need additional support to stay on track. Overall, La Grange High School offers a stable, above-average academic experience with strong programs for advanced learners, though it faces challenges in math instruction and supporting all student subgroups equally.
