Summary

La Marque High School in La Marque, TX, is a public high school serving 737 students in grades 9-12 within the Texas City Independent School District (Isd), and it serves a community with very high economic need, as nearly 90% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school faces significant challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 20% of Texas high schools and earning a 1-star rating for four consecutive years. Its graduation rate of 77.9% is the lowest among nearby comprehensive high schools, which typically have rates above 94%, and its dropout rate of 6.5% is more than 20 times higher than schools like Santa Fe High School (0.0%) and Dickinson High School (0.3%). Academic proficiency on STAAR exams is also low; for example, only 26.8% of students were proficient in Algebra I, compared to 42.6% at Texas City High School and 57.2% at Dickinson High. The school spends $13,223 per student, which is higher than many higher-performing nearby schools, indicating that challenges are not simply about funding.

Despite these struggles, there are notable bright spots. The school’s Gifted and Talented program is a standout, ranking in the 73rd percentile statewide and earning a 4-star rating, showing that high-quality instruction is possible. There are also signs of slow improvement: the overall state ranking has risen from the 12th to the 19th percentile over four years, and Algebra I proficiency has jumped from 4.2% to 26.8% in just one year. However, the school’s most critical issue is its failure to support "At Risk" students, who ranked in the 4th percentile statewide, which directly explains the high dropout rate. Addressing this will be key to turning the school around.
