Summary

Schulenburg Secondary in Schulenburg, TX, serves 411 students in grades 6-12 as part of the Schulenburg Independent School District (Isd), a small rural school that has seen its state ranking decline over the past decade to a 2-star rating for the 2025-2026 school year.

One of the most significant challenges at Schulenburg Secondary is its performance in middle school mathematics, where proficiency rates are critically low. For example, only 8.11% of 7th graders were proficient in math in the 2025-2026 school year, compared to the state average of 29.41%. This is a stark contrast to nearby Flatonia Secondary, located just 12 miles away, where 70.59% of 7th graders were proficient in math. Flatonia, which serves a similar grade range and enrollment, is ranked in the 91st percentile (5 stars), making it a standout comparison. Schulenburg also has a higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced lunch (68.86%) than all nearby schools, including Weimar High School (55.14%) and La Grange High School (47.83%).

Despite these struggles, the school shows notable strengths. It maintains an exceptionally high graduation rate of 95.3% and a near-zero dropout rate, suggesting a strong culture of student persistence. Historically, Schulenburg has outperformed the state in Biology and U.S. History end-of-course exams, with 68.42% of students proficient in Biology in 2023-2024 (vs. 57.31% state). However, the school faces a widening equity gap, with Hispanic and low socio-economic status students performing significantly below their peers. While White students rank in the 74th percentile, Hispanic students are in the 16th percentile, a decline from previous years. This trend, combined with the school's overall decline compared to rising peers like Hallettsville High School and Moulton High School, highlights the need for targeted support in math and for vulnerable student groups.
