Summary

Monahans High School in Monahans, TX, serves 624 students in grades 9-12 within the Monahans-Wickett-Pyote Independent School District (Isd), with a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.5 and over 41% of students from low socio-economic backgrounds. The school has shown a clear recovery from a low point in 2018-2019, stabilizing in the 34th percentile (2-star rating) for the 2025-2026 school year, and boasts a consistently high graduation rate above 95%. However, academic proficiency on state assessments generally lags behind state averages, with a notable weakness in Algebra I, where proficiency rates have remained below 40% in recent years.

Compared to nearby Wink High School, located 19 miles away in the Wink-Loving Independent School District (Isd), Monahans trails significantly in overall performance. Wink High School ranks in the 65th percentile (3-star) and achieves higher proficiency in core subjects like English I & II Reading (62.9% and 72.4% vs. Monahans' 50.6% and 48.8%), Biology (84.4% vs. 66.1%), and U.S. History (64.3% vs. 55.3%). Wink also has a perfect 100% graduation rate and spends more per student ($22,895 vs. $12,949), though it serves a smaller student body of 211.

An interesting finding is the exceptional performance of Gifted and Talented (GT) students at Monahans, who ranked in the 89th percentile statewide in 2025-2026, suggesting a highly effective program for this subgroup. In contrast, the school struggles to support its most vulnerable populations: English Language Learner (ELL) students have consistently ranked in the bottom 20% statewide, and Low Socio-Economic Status (SES) students have seen a concerning decline from the 51st percentile in 2023-2024 to the 29th percentile in 2025-2026. This creates a "two-tiered" system where high-achieving GT students thrive, but students needing the most support are being left behind, highlighting a critical area for intervention.
