Summary

Lasara High School is a very small, rural high school in Lasara, TX, serving 105 students in grades 9-12 within the Lasara Independent School District (Isd), where over 80% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. This school stands out for its exceptionally low student-to-teacher ratio of 7.5:1 and high per-pupil spending of $19,511, offering a level of individual attention that is rare in the region. While its overall state ranking has been volatile—rebounding to the 43rd percentile in 2025-2026 after a low point—Lasara High School excels in keeping students on track, with a 0.0% dropout rate for four of the last five years and a graduation rate of 96.3%.

Lasara High School’s most impressive strengths are its targeted support for specific student groups. It ranks in the 94th percentile for effectiveness with Migrant Students, placing it 5th out of 81 schools statewide, and has shown remarkable improvement with Special Education students, jumping from the 11th to the 72nd percentile in recent years. In English I and II Reading, the school’s proficiency rates (55.56% and 59.09%) are essentially on par with the state average, a notable achievement given its high economic need. However, there is a persistent gender performance gap, with male students ranking in the 62nd percentile while female students rank in the 26th percentile, suggesting an area for strategic focus.

Compared to nearby schools, Lasara holds a unique position. For instance, Lyford High School has a lower free/reduced lunch rate (62.87%) but similar test scores, suggesting Lasara is doing more with fewer economic resources. Meanwhile, San Perlita High School has higher per-pupil spending ($23,664) but a lower graduation rate (87.5% vs. Lasara’s 96.3%), highlighting Lasara’s efficiency in converting resources into positive outcomes. While Monte Alto High School outperforms in Algebra I, Lasara leads in literacy. Overall, this school is a model for student retention and targeted support, making it a strong choice for families prioritizing graduation and individualized attention.
