Summary

Peaster High School is a small, high-performing public school in Weatherford, TX, serving 524 students in grades 9-12 and part of the top-ranked Peaster Independent School District (Isd). This school stands out as a true "island of excellence" in its area, earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the top 17% of Texas high schools. With a low student-to-teacher ratio of 12.6:1 and a near-perfect graduation rate of 99.0%, Peaster provides a supportive environment where students are highly likely to succeed. Its dropout rate is an incredibly low 0.2%, far better than nearby Springtown High School (2.0%) and Weatherford High School (0.8%).

Peaster excels in science and history, with 93.91% of students proficient in Biology and 86.73% in U.S. History—dramatically higher than the state average of about 70%. The school also does an exceptional job supporting all students, ranking in the top 27% of the state for both low-income and special education students. Its Gifted and Talented program is a standout, ranking in the top 12% of Texas. While its main rival, Brock High School, outperforms in English, Peaster matches or exceeds Brock in Biology and U.S. History—and does so with a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students (29.58% vs. 8.24%), making its achievements even more impressive.

One area for attention is Algebra I, where only 58.54% of students are proficient—just above the state average and a notable weakness compared to Peaster's other subjects. Nearby Millsap High School actually outperforms Peaster in this subject. However, the school has shown a dramatic turnaround in recent years, climbing from the 65th percentile in 2018-2019 to the 83rd percentile today. Its special education ranking skyrocketed from the 32nd to the 73rd percentile in just two years, proving that Peaster is actively improving for every student. For families in the Weatherford area seeking a top-tier public high school without a long commute, Peaster is a clear and compelling choice.
