Summary

Lipan High School is a small, rural public school in the Lipan Independent School District (Isd) serving 249 students in grades 6 through 12, offering a highly personalized learning environment with a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 9.7:1 and a moderate free/reduced lunch rate of 47.39%.

This school stands out for its exceptional commitment to student retention, achieving a perfect 100% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate for three consecutive years—a feat matched only by nearby Tolar High School and far exceeding larger schools like Granbury High School (93.2% graduation). Academically, Lipan shines in English I Reading, where proficiency rates have consistently outperformed the state average (77.5% vs. 55.43% in the most recent year), suggesting a highly effective curriculum or teacher. However, the school faces a significant challenge in mathematics, with Algebra I proficiency (41.82%) falling well below the state average (54.03%) and behind top-performing neighbors like Tolar (75.51%) and Brock High School (51.85%). This math weakness appears rooted in middle school, as 8th-grade math proficiency (36.84%) is also below the state average (47.24%) and far behind Santo High School (64.52%).

While Lipan has historically been a solid performer, its recent state ranking (61st percentile) has slipped compared to rising neighbors like Tolar (88th percentile) and Brock (90th percentile). A critical area needing immediate attention is support for Special Education students, whose performance dropped to the 7th percentile statewide in the most recent year. Despite these challenges, Lipan’s small class sizes and strong English instruction are major assets, and its efficient spending of $12,446 per student—moderate compared to high-spending Stars Accelerated High School ($18,831) and less than high-performing Brock ($11,259)—suggests effective resource allocation. For parents, Lipan offers a caring, community-focused environment that excels at keeping students on track to graduate, but the school must prioritize math improvement and targeted support for vulnerable students to reverse its recent decline.
