Summary

Presidio High School is a public high school in Presidio, Texas, serving 390 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Presidio Independent School District, which is ranked 814 out of 961 school districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Presidio High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas high schools, with its ranking ranging from 927 out of 1,961 schools in 2022-2023 to 1,572 out of 1,743 schools in 2014-2015. The school's performance has been relatively stagnant, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade. While male students, Hispanic students, and English Language Learners have generally outperformed the overall school, students with special needs and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds have struggled, with rankings in the bottom quarter of Texas high schools.

Despite the school's higher spending per student and relatively low student-teacher ratio, Presidio High School's academic performance, as measured by STAAR EOC assessments, is generally below the state and district averages. The school performs best in U.S. History but struggles in Algebra I. The high percentage of students from low-income families, with 92.82% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, likely plays a significant role in the school's overall academic performance, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges faced by these students.
