Summary

May High School is a small, rural public school in May, TX, serving 114 students in grades 7 through 12 as part of the May Independent School District (Isd). This intimate setting offers a standout student-teacher ratio of 8:1, which is lower than nearby Early High School (11.4:1) and Comanche High School (10.9:1), allowing for more individualized attention. The school also boasts a perfect 100% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate for the 2023-2024 school year, a stark contrast to Premier H S Of Comanche/Early, which had a 73.5% graduation rate. However, its statewide ranking has been volatile, dropping from the 74th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 54th percentile in 2025-2026, indicating recent challenges.

Academically, May High School shows a clear strength in English Language Arts, with proficiency in English II Reading (64.71%) and U.S. History (75%) exceeding state averages. In contrast, math is a significant weakness, with Algebra I proficiency at just 18.18%, far below the state average of 54.03%. This pattern has persisted for years, with Algebra I proficiency dropping as low as 6% in 2022-2023. The school’s small size means that the performance of a few students can drastically swing overall metrics, as seen in the same year when 7th-grade Reading proficiency hit 77%. Compared to the top-performing Early High School, which consistently ranks in the top 20% of Texas high schools, May High School lags in STEM subjects like Biology (71.43% vs. 81.95%) and Algebra I (18.18% vs. 47.83%).

Notably, the school demonstrates a persistent performance gap between male and female students, with males ranking in the 69th percentile statewide and females in the 32nd percentile in 2025-2026. On a positive note, May High School shows strong support for its Low Socio-Economic Status (SES) students, who ranked in the 73rd percentile, indicating a commitment to equity. When compared to its nearest neighbor, Rising Star High School (93 students), May High School has a slight edge in graduation rates and a lower student-teacher ratio (8:1 vs. 8.3:1), with both schools closely matched in academic performance. This suggests that while May High School provides a supportive, close-knit environment, it may need targeted interventions in math and for female students to improve overall achievement.
