Summary

Options Early Graduation High School in Texarkana, TX, is a small alternative high school within the Texarkana Independent School District (Isd) serving 61 students in grades 9-12, with a mission focused on helping students graduate early. The school stands out for its exceptionally high graduation rate of 92.3% (2023-2024), which rivals top-performing schools like New Boston High School (94.1%) and Liberty-Eylau High School (94.0%), despite serving a student population where 85.25% qualify for free or reduced lunch—the highest rate of economic disadvantage among all nearby high schools.

This creates a notable paradox: while the school excels at getting students to a diploma, its academic proficiency on state tests is very low, ranking in the 5th percentile statewide. For example, only 17.86% of students were proficient in English II Reading, compared to 59.08% at Texas High School. The school invests heavily in its students, spending $15,072 per pupil (more than Texas High School's $11,125) and maintaining a tiny student-to-teacher ratio of 7.3:1, which is the lowest in the area and suggests highly personalized attention. This contrasts sharply with the Digital Academy Of Texas, another alternative school in the same district that serves a less disadvantaged population (40.55% economically disadvantaged) and achieves much higher test scores, ranking in the 77th percentile.

For parents, Options appears to function as a "graduation factory" that prioritizes persistence and credit recovery over standardized test performance. Its dropout rate of 3.1% is a relative success, especially compared to the 6.2% rate at Premier H S Of Texarkana, another alternative school. However, the school struggles with equity, as academic outcomes vary widely by student group, with some subgroups consistently ranking in the bottom 1% statewide. This suggests that while Options effectively helps at-risk students earn diplomas, families should carefully consider whether the school provides the academic foundation needed for college or career success.
