Summary

Sharyland High School in Mission, TX, is a large public high school serving 1,527 students in grades 9-12 as part of the high-performing Sharyland Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 75th percentile statewide.

This school stands out for its near-perfect graduation rate of 98.4% and a dropout rate that has been effectively zero for the last two years—a remarkable achievement compared to nearby schools like Mission High School (0.6% dropout) and Veterans Memorial High School (0.5% dropout). Sharyland High also excels in specific subjects, with 76.2% of students proficient in Biology and 82.1% in U.S. History, both well above state averages. However, English II Reading is a relative weakness, with only 49.8% proficiency compared to the state average of 59.9%. The school has earned a consistent 3-star rating for the past five years, ranking in the 60th-68th percentile among Texas high schools.

An interesting dynamic exists with the nearby Sharyland Advanced Academic Academy (SAAA), a smaller magnet school just 0.27 miles away that achieves a 5-star, 94th percentile ranking. While SAAA serves a higher percentage of low-income students (66.1% vs. 55.6%) with a much lower student-teacher ratio (8.6 vs. 18), Sharyland High provides a strong, comprehensive option with exceptional support for all students. The school’s most notable strength is its top-tier performance for specific student groups, achieving 5-star, 98th percentile rankings for African American students and 5-star, 96th percentile rankings for Asian students—results not seen at any nearby comprehensive high school. This suggests highly effective programs that could serve as a model for further improvement across the entire student body.

What people are saying

by a parent
Thursday, January 9, 2020

This school has been the worst to deal with in regards to attendance! My oldest daughter was highly involved in church as she served as the Regional Leader for the South Central region. With this leadership role, my daughter was involved with creating spiritual retreats 4x a year that involved 150-400 youth members from CO, NM, TX, OK, SD, KS. SHS did not recognize her role nor involvement with church and would not pre-approve any missed days. Even with a letter from the Director of our church. They said her involvement was not recognized as a Holy Day and would marked all her missed absences as unexcused. In addition, they are not giving credit to my Junior student due to attendance. My Junior student had Dr's orders to stay home as she was dx with hand foot & mouth which is highly contagious. So in order to avoid further contamination, we kept her quarantined at home for 4 days (Dr's orders were for 7 days). My daughter had 1 more absence, and now is currently not getting credit for classes that she has successfully completed. SHS states that no credit will be issued if 90 of school is not attended regardless of approved or not approved attendance. They have not been willing to work with us and just state that although the class was completed, my daughter will not be getting credit! This is absolutely ridiculous as my kids have been excellent students and excel academically. I am appalled that Religious Leadership roles outside of school are not recognized and were counted against my oldest.. and that Dr orders to stay home counted against my Junior student. The staff at SHS was neither willing or able to work with us on these matters as they stated that the State of TX requires ALL students to be at school for 90 of the time or NO CREDIT will be given. After further investigation on the state of TX attendance policy, I have found this to not be true, however SHS will not comply with anything else. Close Quote
