Summary

Success High School is a small, alternative high school in Round Rock, TX, serving 221 students in grades 9-12 as part of the highly-rated Round Rock Independent School District (Isd). Unlike nearby comprehensive schools like Round Rock High School or Cedar Ridge High School, which serve thousands of students and rank in the top half of the state, Success High School is designed for students who have struggled in traditional settings. Its graduation rate has hovered between 67% and 76% over the last five years, and its dropout rate reached 12.7% in 2023-2024—far higher than the district average of 0.5%. Academic proficiency on STAAR tests is also significantly lower, with only 3.57% of students proficient in English I Reading compared to 71.45% district-wide. These metrics reflect the high-risk population the school serves, not a failure of the school itself.

The school’s most remarkable achievement is its exceptional performance with Special Education students, ranking in the 73rd percentile statewide in 2025-2026 and earning a 4-star rating. This is a standout success, especially compared to its overall 4th percentile ranking, and suggests that the school’s small class sizes and individualized attention are highly effective for this group. Success High School also outperforms nearby alternative campuses like Premier High School-Austin Wells Branch, which has a 34.9% graduation rate and 18.4% dropout rate, indicating that Success High School’s model—with a low 10:1 student-to-teacher ratio and higher per-pupil spending ($13,529 vs. about $8,800 at other district high schools)—may be more effective at keeping students on track.

It’s important to view Success High School through the lens of its mission: re-engaging students who have disengaged from traditional education. The school’s low overall test scores and graduation rates are baseline measures of the challenges students bring, not the full picture of their growth. Year-over-year volatility in metrics like U.S. History proficiency (swinging from 34% to 50% to 31.82%) is common for small schools and reflects the impact of individual cohorts. For parents considering this option, Success High School offers a resource-intensive, supportive environment that has proven particularly strong for students with special needs, providing a second chance for those who need a different path to graduation.
