Summary

San Perlita High School is a small public high school serving grades 9-12 in the San Perlita Independent School District, which is ranked 635 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Despite its small size of just 66 students, the school has consistently maintained an exceptional 100% four-year graduation rate, significantly higher than the state average and the graduation rates of nearby schools.

While San Perlita High School excels in graduation and dropout rates, its academic performance on state assessments is more mixed. The school's test scores on the STAAR EOC exams are generally higher than the San Perlita Independent School District average, but still lag behind the state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 22.22% in Algebra I to 76.47% in U.S. History, compared to the district's 11.11% and 76.47%, respectively, and the state's 47.01% and 67.94%. However, the school has shown some strengths in specific student subgroups, with its female students and English Language Learner students performing better than the state averages in recent years.

When compared to the nearby schools, Edcouch-Elsa H S Academy and Lasara High School, San Perlita High School generally outperforms the smaller, more rural schools, but lags behind the larger, more resourced schools like Raymondville High School and Santa Rosa High School in terms of academic achievement. The school's small size, high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, and resource constraints may contribute to these challenges, but its focus on student success is evident in its strong graduation outcomes.
