Summary

La Vernia High School in La Vernia, TX, is a highly-rated 4-star school serving 1,072 students in grades 9-12 within the La Vernia Independent School District (Isd), a district ranked in the 84th percentile statewide. This school stands out as a clear academic leader in the region, consistently outperforming nearby schools like Stockdale High School (68th percentile), Marion High School (45th percentile), and Floresville High School (40th percentile). With a 97% graduation rate and a remarkably low 0.2% dropout rate, La Vernia excels at keeping students on track, a stark contrast to larger urban schools like Judson High School (85.5% graduation, 3.0% dropout) and East Central High School (83.6% graduation, 2.9% dropout).

Academically, La Vernia shines in most subjects, with exceptional test scores in Biology (86% proficient), English II Reading (76%), and U.S. History (79%), all well above state averages and the highest among nearby schools. However, Algebra I remains a persistent weak spot, with only 50% proficiency—slightly below the state average of 54% but still far better than the 13% at Judson or 12% at East Central. The school also demonstrates impressive cost-effectiveness, spending $10,217 per student—moderate compared to peers like Marion High School ($12,290) and Stockdale High School ($13,462)—while achieving far better outcomes than larger districts spending less.

Notably, La Vernia has maintained a 4-star rating for nine consecutive years, a stability that sets it apart from schools like Stockdale, which fluctuates between 3 and 4 stars. The school serves a relatively low-poverty population, with only about 24% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, compared to over 66% at Judson and East Central. While the school overall thrives, the White student subgroup saw a decline to a 3-star rating in 2025-2026, a trend worth noting. For parents seeking a high-performing, stable school with strong graduation rates and efficient resource use, La Vernia High School is a standout choice in the area.
