Summary

New Boston High School in New Boston, TX, is a mid-sized high school serving 324 students in grades 9-12 as part of the New Boston Independent School District (Isd), and it has shown a remarkable turnaround over the past decade, consistently earning 3-star ratings since 2022 after years of lower performance.

This school stands out for its strong academic progress, especially given that over 71% of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch. It dramatically outperforms Liberty-Eylau High School, which serves a similar high-poverty population, with Algebra I proficiency nearly nine times higher (51.7% vs. 5.7%). New Boston also surpasses Dekalb High School in English and Algebra I, despite DeKalb having a slightly lower poverty rate. A key strength is the school's exceptional performance with its Hispanic students, ranking in the 85th percentile statewide. The school maintains a very low student-teacher ratio of 9.1:1, lower than high-performing neighbors like Pleasant Grove High School (12.7:1), and its English program is a cornerstone, with English I Reading proficiency (64.6%) nearly 10 points above the state average.

The most notable area for improvement is Algebra I, which has shown extreme volatility—from a low of 3.45% proficiency in 2023-2024 to a strong 51.7% in 2025-2026. This inconsistency contrasts with stable, high Algebra I scores at schools like Redwater High School. However, the school's overall trajectory is positive, with impressive gains for special education and low-income students, and a graduation rate consistently above 94%. New Boston is a school on the rise, effectively using its resources to support a high-needs community and build a strong foundation for student success.
