Summary

Seminole High School is a mid-sized high school in Seminole, TX, serving 835 students in grades 9-12 within the Seminole Independent School District (Isd), and it stands out for its exceptionally high graduation rates (consistently above 94%) and remarkably low dropout rates (often 0.0%). The school benefits from a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of about 11:1 and per-student spending slightly above the state average, creating a strong foundation for learning. However, while the school ranks in the 53rd percentile statewide (3 stars) for the 2025-2026 school year, this represents a slight dip from its recent peak of the 61st percentile in 2023-2024, suggesting some recent challenges.

When compared to nearby schools, Seminole High School significantly outperforms both Denver City High School (36th percentile, 2 stars) and the Seminole Success Center (14th percentile, 1 star) in overall academic performance. In Algebra I, Seminole students achieved 50.37% proficiency, far exceeding Denver City’s 29.77%, and the school also consistently outperforms Denver City in English I and II Reading, with scores like 56.13% and 59.62% respectively. While all three schools have high graduation rates, Seminole’s combination of a 97.6% graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate in 2023-2024 is a key differentiator, though Denver City’s graduation rate (99.1%) is slightly higher.

A critical finding is the significant equity gap in academic outcomes among student groups. While White students rank in the 67th percentile (3 stars), Hispanic students rank in the 31st percentile (2 stars), and English Language Learner (ELL) students rank in the bottom 9th percentile (0 stars) for the 2025-2026 school year. This 58-percentile-point gap between White and ELL students suggests that support systems are not effectively reaching these populations. Additionally, performance for Special Education and low socio-economic status students shows volatility, with rankings swinging dramatically year to year, indicating a lack of stable, effective programs for these groups. Despite having strong resources, the school faces the challenge of strategically allocating them to close these achievement gaps.
