Summary

Stanton High School in Stanton, TX, is a small rural high school serving approximately 328 students in grades 9-12 within the Stanton Independent School District (Isd), a 3-star district that ranks in the top third statewide.

Stanton High School stands out for its exceptional graduation rate, which has consistently hovered between 97.1% and 98.5% over the last five years, and a near-zero dropout rate—a feat unmatched by nearby schools like Midland High School (87.8% graduation) and Viola M Coleman High School (79.6%). However, this success in graduating students does not fully translate into high academic proficiency on state assessments. The school's overall state ranking places it in the 41st percentile, a decline from its peak in 2020-2021. A notable bright spot is Biology, where 72% of students are proficient, outperforming the state average and nearby schools like Midland High (41.43%) and even slightly edging out Greenwood High School (71.02%).

Despite spending significantly more per student ($16,958) and having a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 11.9:1, Stanton's overall academic performance lags behind Greenwood High School (49th percentile), which operates with fewer resources and larger class sizes. This raises questions about resource allocation. The school also shows a stark contrast in serving different student groups: it is highly effective for White students (68th percentile) but struggles with English Language Learners (23rd percentile) and Special Education students (13th percentile). The school's performance history is volatile, with a sharp decline from the 66th percentile in 2020-2021 to the 32nd percentile in 2024-2025, suggesting success may depend on specific cohorts rather than a stable system.
