Summary

Lufkin High School is a large public high school in Lufkin, TX, serving over 2,000 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Lufkin Independent School District (Isd), and it stands out for its remarkable ability to keep students on track to graduate despite serving a community where over 84% of students face economic challenges.

One of the school's biggest strengths is its high graduation rate of 96.5% and a low dropout rate of just 1.5%, which are better than many nearby schools. For example, while Hudson High School and Huntington High School have higher test scores, Lufkin High School excels at supporting students through to graduation. This is especially impressive when you consider that the district's alternative school, Stubblefield Learning Center, serves the most at-risk students and has a much lower graduation rate of 38.3%. The school also invests heavily in its students, spending $12,700 per student and maintaining a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.9:1, which is lower than nearby schools like Diboll High School (13.5:1) and Pineywoods Community Academy High School (14.8:1).

However, academic performance on state tests is generally below the state average, particularly in Algebra I and English, though the school performs comparably to some neighbors in subjects like Biology (65.6%) and U.S. History (65.0%). The school's overall state ranking has declined in recent years, and it faces significant challenges in supporting its Special Education students, who ranked in the 15th percentile in 2025-2026. On the other hand, the school is highly effective for its Asian student population, ranking in the 73rd percentile. For parents, Lufkin High School offers a supportive environment that prioritizes keeping students in school and graduating, but families should be aware that academic achievement in core subjects may require additional attention and support.
