Summary

Sabinal Secondary is a public high school located in Sabinal, Texas, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 210 students. The school is part of the Sabinal Independent School District, which is ranked 582 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sabinal Secondary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas high schools, with its academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, significantly below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in 7th grade reading (21.74%) and 7th grade math (13.04%) are less than half the state averages (51.69% and 31.12%, respectively). The school's performance on STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams is also below the state average, with proficiency rates ranging from 22.22% in Algebra I to 60.53% in U.S. History, compared to the state averages of 47.01% and 67.94%, respectively.

While Sabinal Secondary has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, its dropout rate has been more variable, ranging from 0.0% to 2.7% over the past few years. The school serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 57.58% to 65.71% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch over the past few years, which is higher than the state average. The school's relatively low student-to-teacher ratio and high per-student spending suggest that resources are being allocated to support these students, but the outcomes have not yet been realized.
