Summary

Quitman High School is a small, rural high school in Quitman, TX, serving 346 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Quitman Independent School District (Isd).

This school stands out for its exceptional graduation and dropout rates, consistently above 97% for the last five years and reaching 99% in 2023-2024, with a 0.0% dropout rate for four of the last five years. This is a clear differentiator from nearby schools like Lindale High School (0.4% dropout) and Grand Saline High School (0.3% dropout). Quitman also invests heavily in its students, with per-student spending of $14,500 and a very low student-teacher ratio of 9.1:1, offering a highly personalized learning environment compared to larger schools like Lindale (14.4:1). Academically, the school excels in English II Reading, where 75% of students are proficient—15 percentage points above the state average—and its Gifted and Talented program ranks in the 92nd percentile statewide. However, the school faces challenges, including a significant gender achievement gap (female students perform in the 79th percentile, while male students are in the 38th percentile) and a notable weakness in Algebra I, where only 38.82% of students are proficient compared to the state average of 54.03%.

Quitman High School is a high-graduation, low-dropout institution that provides a supportive, well-funded education. Its primary strengths are in keeping students on track and achieving strong results in English and Biology, as well as with its Gifted and Talented population. The school's primary challenges are a growing gender achievement gap favoring female students, a notable weakness in Algebra I, and a recent decline in performance for its low-socioeconomic-status students. The school's success will depend on its ability to leverage its small class sizes and high spending to address these specific academic gaps.
