Summary

Cooke/Fannin/Grayson County Juvenile Post Ajud Facility is a public high school serving grades 6-12 in the Sherman Independent School District in Denison, Texas. With a small student population of just 68 students, this school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Texas high schools over the past decade, earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's performance is especially concerning, with 0% proficiency on STAAR standardized tests in 8th grade Reading, Math, and Algebra I - far below district and state averages. This pattern of extremely low test scores has persisted for years, and the school's struggles are particularly acute for female, African American, and Hispanic students. However, special education students are a relative bright spot, ranking in the top 20% of Texas high schools in recent years. Despite the school's high per-student spending of around $14,000 and a very low student-teacher ratio of 8:1, these resources have not translated to improved academic outcomes.

Compared to nearby high schools, such as Pottsboro High School, which ranks in the top 20% of Texas schools, Cooke/Fannin/Grayson County Juvenile Post Ajud Facility's performance is starkly contrasted. As a facility serving students in the juvenile justice system, the school likely faces unique challenges, but the data suggests these challenges have not been adequately addressed. Improving student outcomes at this school will require a comprehensive strategy to effectively support the academic and personal needs of its student population.
