Summary

Stephenville High School in Stephenville, TX, serves 1,079 students in grades 9-12 and is part of the high-performing Stephenville Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 91st percentile statewide. This school has earned a consistent 4-star rating for eight consecutive years, with a graduation rate that regularly exceeds 95%—reaching 98.6% in 2021-2022—and a dropout rate near zero. Its student-teacher ratio of 13:1 and spending of $9,959 per student (below the state average) suggest efficient resource use, making it a standout choice for families seeking stability and strong outcomes in a moderately diverse community where 42.35% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Compared to nearby schools, Stephenville excels in core academic subjects like Biology and U.S. History, where proficiency rates often top 80%, outperforming the state average by 10-15 percentage points. This academic strength contrasts sharply with Huston Academy, an alternative school just 1.91 miles away that struggles with low test scores and a 2.3% dropout rate. However, Stephenville faces a notable challenge in Algebra I, where proficiency rates have dipped below the state average (e.g., 28.64% vs. 44.73% in 2023-2024), while Dublin High School nearby excels in this subject (87.67% in 2025-2026). This suggests a specific instructional gap rather than a regional issue.

A key area for improvement is the declining support for Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) students. Hispanic students’ statewide ranking dropped from the 70th percentile (2022-2023) to the 47th percentile (2025-2026), while ELL students plummeted from the 78th to the 28th percentile in the same period. This trend is a red flag, indicating that once-effective strategies for these groups need renewal. Despite this, Stephenville’s overall efficiency and consistency—especially compared to smaller schools like Hico High School and De Leon High School, which spend more per student but achieve similar or lower outcomes—make it a reliable choice for most families.
