Summary

Smithville High School in Smithville, TX, serves 543 students in grades 9-12 and is part of the Smithville Independent School District (Isd), which has a 2-star rating. The school has a favorable student-teacher ratio of about 12.4 to 12.7 students per teacher, suggesting smaller class sizes, and roughly half of its students are economically disadvantaged. However, Smithville High School has seen a decline from a 3-star rating to a consistent 2-star rating over the last five years, placing it in the 41st to 47th percentile statewide—below the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, Smithville's academic performance is notably lower. For example, Giddings High School (78th percentile, 4-star) and La Grange High School (64th percentile, 3-star) both outperform Smithville in subjects like Algebra I and U.S. History. Smithville's Algebra I proficiency rate is 30.5%, compared to Giddings' 70.9% and La Grange's 42.3%. A bright spot is Biology, where Smithville scores 71.2% proficient, matching or exceeding the state average. The school's graduation rate of 91.2% is the lowest among traditional high schools in the area, with Giddings at 97.1% and Bastrop High School at 97.9%.

Smithville faces challenges in supporting all student groups effectively. The school performs in the bottom 15th percentile for African American students and has historically struggled with at-risk and low-income students. However, there is a positive trend for Multi-Racial students, whose performance jumped from the 10th to the 59th percentile recently. The school's Biology success offers a potential model for improvement in other subjects. While the dropout rate is low at 0.8%, it is slightly higher than at neighboring schools, indicating a need for stronger student retention efforts. Overall, Smithville High School is a school in transition, with opportunities to leverage its small class sizes and bright spots to raise achievement.
