Summary

Louise High School is a small, rural high school in Louise, TX, serving 153 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Louise Independent School District (Isd), which holds a strong 4-star district rating. This school stands out for its perfect record of keeping every student on track: it has achieved a 100% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate for five consecutive years (2019-2024), a feat unmatched by nearby schools like Edna High School (0.2% dropout) or Ganado High School (0.9% dropout). The school invests heavily in its students, spending $16,649 per student (2020-2021) and maintaining a low student-to-teacher ratio of 9.3:1, which is significantly better than El Campo High School (14.1:1) and Ganado (11.3:1).

However, academic test scores tell a more mixed story. While English II Reading is a consistent strength—outperforming the state average every year for the past four years—Algebra I and U.S. History remain persistent weaknesses. For example, in the 2025-2026 school year, only 32% of students were proficient in Algebra I (vs. 54% statewide) and 54% in U.S. History (vs. 70% statewide). This volatility is partly due to the small student body, where the performance of just a few students can dramatically shift percentages from year to year. In contrast, Ganado High School, a similar-sized school just 8 miles away, consistently outperforms Louise in Algebra I (67% vs. 32% in 2025-2026), suggesting a potential area for improvement.

One remarkable success story is the turnaround for English Language Learners (ELL), who jumped from the 24th percentile (1 star) in 2024-2025 to the 80th percentile (4 stars) in 2025-2026—an extraordinary improvement that points to a highly effective intervention. Overall, Louise High School excels at retaining and graduating students with personalized attention, but families should be aware that academic proficiency in math and history can be inconsistent, while English remains a standout subject.
