Summary

Mineola High School is a mid-sized school serving 492 students in grades 9-12 in Mineola, TX, part of the highly-rated Mineola Independent School District (Isd). The school has earned a 4-star rating for six consecutive years and boasts a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 9.3:1, with a graduation rate that has consistently been above 95%, reaching 98% in the most recent year.

Mineola High School shines brightest in English Language Arts, where it consistently outperforms the state average and many nearby schools. For example, its English II Reading proficiency rate (75.83%) is much closer to the area's top performer, Lindale High School (82.48%), than it is to the state average (59.88%). The school also shows strong results in Biology and U.S. History, scoring well above state averages. A standout strength is its exceptional support for students from low socio-economic backgrounds, who rank in the 81st percentile statewide—a remarkable achievement that suggests the school is effectively closing achievement gaps for its most vulnerable students.

The school's most significant academic challenge is in Algebra I, where its proficiency rate (52.38%) falls below the state average and lags behind several nearby schools like Van High School (66.39%) and Hawkins H S / Middle (65.38%). This persistent weakness suggests that while the school's investment in smaller class sizes and higher per-student spending ($13,777) pays off in reading-heavy subjects, a more targeted approach may be needed in math instruction. Additionally, support for special education students has declined, dropping to the 40th percentile, indicating that the school's effective systems may not be equally serving all student groups.

What people are saying

by a parent
Tuesday, June 20, 2017

Tired to enroll the kids in this school but first the admin office lost the paperwork and then refused to get the previous transcripts b/c they said my kids were home schooled b/c they had attended an online PUBLIC accredited school ONE year. The staff is unprofessional. It took me 2 weeks of calling before anyone in the offices would actually answer the phone. Then they refused to do their job and call for transcripts from the children's previous PUBLIC schools (they spent 5 years at a traditional school and only ONE year at an online school, but that concept was beyond the staffs understanding). Don's send your kids here unless you have a lot of patience to deal with incompetencies. Close Quote
