Summary

Raymondville Options Academic Academy is a small alternative high school in the Raymondville Independent School District (Isd), serving just 50 students in grades 7 through 12, with 94% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. This school stands out for its intensive, personalized approach, boasting an extremely low student-to-teacher ratio of 8.5:1—far lower than the district’s main Raymondville High School (12.8:1) and the state average. The school also invests heavily in its students, spending $20,111 per pupil, which is significantly more than nearby Lyford High School ($14,243) and even the high-spending San Perlita High School ($23,664).

One of the school’s biggest successes is its dramatic improvement in keeping students on track to graduate. After a low of 65.9% in 2020-2021, the graduation rate soared to 90.0% in 2023-2024, and the dropout rate has been 0.0% for the last two years. This is a remarkable turnaround, especially when compared to a similar alternative school, Edcouch-Elsa H S Academy, which has a 65.1% graduation rate and a 15.1% dropout rate. While Raymondville Options excels at re-engaging at-risk students, academic proficiency remains a challenge. For example, in 2025-2026, 0% of students were proficient in Algebra I and Biology, though 62.5% were proficient in U.S. History—actually exceeding the district average of 57.69%.

The data reveals a school that is effectively solving the problem of student persistence but still working on deep academic learning. The school’s small size and high spending allow for individualized attention, which has been key to its success in reducing dropouts. However, recent subgroup data shows a significant drop in performance for female students, falling from the 52nd percentile in 2024-2025 to the 0th percentile in 2025-2026, a red flag that warrants attention. Overall, Raymondville Options is a "last chance" model that keeps students in school and graduating, but parents should be aware that academic test scores are generally low compared to state standards.
