Summary

Teague Lion Academy in Teague, TX, is a small alternative high school serving 29 students in grades 9-12 within the Teague Independent School District (Isd). This school stands out dramatically from its peers, with state test scores showing a 0% proficiency rate in both Algebra I and English I Reading, compared to Teague High School's 80.3% and 74.29% proficiency in those subjects. Even the next lowest-performing nearby school, Mexia High School, scored 39.06% and 43.36% respectively, highlighting the extreme academic challenges at this campus.

The school's student-teacher ratio has been highly volatile, jumping from 10:1 to 29:1 in recent years, which is the highest ratio among all nearby schools like Leon High School and Groesbeck High School. Additionally, spending per student is notably low at $7,934, significantly less than Fairfield High School ($13,192) and other area schools. Despite these challenges, the school maintains a high graduation rate of 95.5%, comparable to the district average, which suggests a focus on credit recovery and diploma completion over academic mastery.

One interesting bright spot is U.S. History, where the school achieved a 23.08% proficiency rate, though still below state averages. The school's performance for "At Risk Students" has historically been slightly better than its overall ranking, indicating some effectiveness for its target population. However, the overall picture shows a campus that is an outlier within its district, with Buffalo High School and Wortham High School all performing significantly better across core subjects. Parents should understand that while the school offers a path to graduation, the academic outcomes are critically low compared to other options in the region.
