Summary

Slaton High School is a public high school in Slaton, Texas, serving 350 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Slaton Independent School District, which is ranked 811 out of 961 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Slaton High School faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom half of Texas high schools over the past decade. Its performance on state standardized tests is below the state and district averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 15% to 66% across different subjects and years. The school struggles to effectively serve certain student subgroups, with particularly low rankings and test scores for African American, English Language Learner, and Special Education students. While Slaton High School has a relatively high four-year graduation rate, its dropout rate is also higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, Slaton High School generally underperforms. For example, Talkington School for Young Women Leaders, a public magnet school in Lubbock, consistently ranks in the top 5% of Texas high schools and outperforms Slaton High School on state tests by a wide margin. Additionally, Slaton High School's performance for its Gifted and Talented student subgroup is concerning, with the school ranking in the bottom 10% of Texas high schools in this category. Despite spending significantly more per student than the state average, Slaton High School has not been able to translate this higher spending into improved academic outcomes.
