Summary

Lampasas High School in Lampasas, TX, serves approximately 1,145 students in grades 9-12 within the Lampasas Independent School District (Isd), a district ranked in the top third of Texas school districts.

This school stands out for its exceptional ability to keep students on track to graduation, boasting a 97.5% graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate—metrics that surpass nearby comprehensive schools like Burnet High School (95.8% graduation, 0.6% dropout) and Copperas Cove High School (98.0% graduation, 0.2% dropout). Academically, Lampasas excels in English Language Arts, with 59.47% of students proficient in English I and 64.66% in English II, outperforming both the state average and its local peers. It also shines in Biology, where 74.58% of students are proficient, well above the state average of 70.51%. However, the school faces a notable challenge in Algebra I, where only 43.36% of students are proficient, significantly below the state average of 54.03%. This is a key area for improvement, especially given the school's strong performance in other subjects.

Lampasas High School has a history of solid performance, maintaining a 3-star rating for the last six years, though it has not returned to its peak 4-star status from the mid-2010s. The school spends $11,332 per student, which is more than its comprehensive peers but less than alternative schools like Quest High School ($19,134) and Crossroads High School (which serves a higher-need population). Given its strong graduation rates and ELA performance, Lampasas appears to use its resources efficiently. The school's primary challenges are addressing its Algebra I weakness and understanding why some student groups are not achieving at the same level as others. If it can solve these puzzles, it has the potential to return to its former 4-star status.

Open Quote If you plan to move to this school district..beware..it's not everything that is in rumor to be. You will have to fight for everything to see to your childs education, of course the teachers and school administration will stick together and place the blame on your child,instead of solving the problem, which would be much easier for all involved. If your child has learning disabilites, or behavior issues, don't expect help to fall in your lap.

The teachers don't have the time to spend teaching your student, they mostly pawn them off for help from other students. One teacher in particular only had 9 students in her math class, and STILL refused to give individual attention to those struggling with the subject! Even after a parent/teacher conference.

So my message to you is to shop around for a better school before you let your kid fall through the big crack in this town. Close Quote
