Summary

La Villa Early College High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 175 students in La Villa, Texas, which is part of the La Villa Independent School District. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas high schools over the past 10 years.

While La Villa Early College High School maintains a relatively high 4-year graduation rate, ranging from 88.6% to 96.3% over the past 5 years, its academic performance is significantly lower than state and district averages across all subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's Algebra I proficiency rate was 36.36% compared to the state average of 47.01%. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students (over 89%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When compared to nearby schools, such as the South Texas Independent School District (ISD) Science Academy, which consistently ranks in the top 5% of Texas high schools, La Villa Early College High School performs significantly worse across most metrics. However, the school's special education and migrant students performed relatively well, ranking in the top half of Texas high schools for these subgroups in recent years, while the school's gifted and talented students performed very poorly, ranking in the bottom 10% of Texas high schools.
