Summary

Lyndon B Johnson is a large public high school in Laredo, TX, serving 3,240 students in grades 9-12 within the United Independent School District (Isd), where over 89% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school presents a unique profile for parents to consider. On one hand, it boasts a consistently high graduation rate, often near 96%, and shows exceptional strength in supporting students with special needs, ranking in the 78th percentile statewide for this group. This is a standout achievement compared to nearby schools like United South High School, which does not have comparable data for this subgroup. However, overall academic performance on state tests is a significant challenge, with proficiency rates in core subjects like English I Reading (40.5%) and Algebra I (48.68%) well below those of United South High School (58.43% and 72.45%, respectively). This gap between high graduation rates and low test scores suggests the school is effective at keeping students on track to graduate but struggles to ensure they meet grade-level academic standards.

A few bright spots and areas of volatility are worth noting. The school’s U.S. History department is a clear strength, with proficiency rates nearly matching the district and state averages, a stark contrast to its performance in other subjects. Conversely, support for migrant students has been highly inconsistent, swinging from a top-tier 93rd percentile ranking to an 11th percentile ranking in just two years, which may indicate instability in programming for this group. While the school spends slightly more per student than its higher-performing peer United South High School, the overall academic results suggest that resource allocation, rather than total spending, is the key factor in driving student success.
