Summary

Muleshoe High School is a small, rural high school in Muleshoe, TX, serving 341 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Muleshoe Independent School District (Isd).

Muleshoe High School stands out for its remarkable consistency and strong graduation rates, which have remained above 97% for five consecutive years, often reaching 100%. While its overall state ranking places it in the 58th percentile (3 stars), the school excels in serving its economically disadvantaged students, ranking in the 65th percentile among similar schools. This is especially notable given that over 83% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. In comparison, nearby Sudan High School ranks higher overall (80th percentile) but serves a much less economically disadvantaged population (37%). Muleshoe achieves these results with lower spending per student ($15,033) compared to Sudan ($18,795), and a slightly higher student-to-teacher ratio (9.7:1 vs. 8.4:1).

The school shows a fascinating contrast in how it serves different student groups. Its Gifted and Talented program is outstanding, ranking in the 94th percentile (5 stars). However, the school faces significant challenges with its Migrant students, who ranked in the 1st percentile (0 stars) in 2025-2026, a dramatic drop from 59th percentile two years prior. Performance for Special Education and English Language Learner students has also been volatile, suggesting that support systems for these groups may need more stability. Despite these challenges, the school's ability to maintain near-perfect graduation rates year after year is a testament to its effectiveness in keeping students on track to earn their diplomas.
