Summary

Queen City High School is a small, rural high school in Queen City, TX, serving 259 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Queen City Independent School District (Isd). The school stands out for its exceptional ability to keep students on track, boasting a near-perfect 98.9% graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate for the 2023-2024 school year. This is a significant achievement, especially when compared to nearby Liberty-Eylau High School, which has a 94.0% graduation rate and a 1.9% dropout rate. The school also offers an incredibly favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 7.6:1, the lowest in the area, which provides a strong foundation for personalized attention and support.

However, the school's overall state ranking has declined to a 2-star rating (38th percentile) for the 2025-2026 school year, down from a high of 4 stars in 2015-2016. This decline is largely driven by a persistent weakness in math. In the 2025-2026 school year, only 21.57% of students were proficient in Algebra I, compared to the state average of 54.03%. In contrast, the school performs well in English I Reading, where 59.09% of students are proficient, outpacing the state average of 55.43%. This creates a clear "tale of two subjects," where the school excels in reading but struggles significantly in math.

For context, the nearby high-performing Redwater High School (16 miles away) ranks in the 83rd percentile and achieves proficiency rates 20-30 points higher across all subjects. However, Redwater serves a less economically disadvantaged student population (35.29% free/reduced lunch) compared to Queen City (56.37%). This suggests Queen City is achieving its strong graduation rates despite serving a more challenging demographic. The school's small size also leads to volatile year-over-year rankings for specific student groups, as the performance of just a few students can dramatically shift results. With its low student-to-teacher ratio and proven ability to retain students, Queen City has a promising foundation to improve math instruction and reverse its recent ranking decline.
