Summary

Tegeler Career Center is a public high school located in Pasadena, Texas, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 141 students. The school is part of the Pasadena Independent School District, which is ranked 565 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Tegeler Career Center faces significant challenges in academic performance, with consistently low rankings among Texas high schools over the past 5 years. The school's proficiency rates on STAAR EOC exams are significantly below the district and state averages across all subjects, including Algebra I, Biology, and English I/II Reading. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Tegeler Career Center's proficiency rates were 67.74% in Algebra I, 41.07% in Biology, and only 21.74% and 22.22% in English I and English II Reading, respectively, compared to the district and state averages of over 40-50% in these subjects. The school's 4-year graduation rate has ranged from 89.0% to 94.3% over the past 3 years, slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate has been between 1.1% and 2.2%, higher than the state average.

Tegeler Career Center's academic performance is significantly lower than the nearby Pasadena Memorial High School, which has consistently ranked in the top 30-35% of Texas high schools and outperformed the district and state averages on STAAR EOC exams. In contrast, the nearby Sam Rayburn High School and The Summit (High School) have similar academic performance and rankings to Tegeler Career Center. The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, ranging from 79.1% to 87.94% over the past 3 years, may be a contributing factor to its struggles.
