Summary

New Deal High School is a small, rural school in New Deal, TX, serving 228 students in grades 9-12 as part of the New Deal Independent School District (Isd). This school stands out for its remarkable ability to help students from all backgrounds succeed, particularly those facing economic challenges. With a 10.3:1 student-teacher ratio, students benefit from a personalized learning environment that is rare in the area—far more intimate than larger schools like Lubbock High School (16.1:1) or Estacado High School (12.1:1).

The school’s most impressive achievement is its perfect 100% graduation rate and 0% dropout rate for the 2023-2024 school year, a rare feat that outpaces even high-performing neighbors like Idalou High School (98.4% graduation). New Deal also excels in supporting specific student groups: it ranks in the 82nd percentile statewide for serving low-income students, a stark contrast to Estacado High School (11th percentile) and Dupre Academy High School (1st percentile), which serve similar populations. Additionally, the school’s Gifted and Talented program ranks in the 94th percentile, earning a 5-star rating—a dramatic improvement from the previous year.

While New Deal consistently outperforms state averages in Algebra I, English I, and English II, it slightly trails in Biology and U.S. History. The school has shown steady improvement over the past decade, climbing from the 38th percentile to the 66th percentile overall. However, there is a notable gap between male students (70th percentile) and female students (57th percentile), suggesting an opportunity to better support girls. Overall, New Deal High School offers a compelling mix of strong academics, exceptional support for diverse learners, and a tight-knit community that ensures nearly every student graduates ready for the future.
