Summary

Van Alstyne High School in Van Alstyne, TX, is a 4-star rated school serving 729 students in grades 9-12, part of the top-ranked Van Alstyne Independent School District (Isd).

This school stands out for its near-perfect graduation rate of 99.3%, which is higher than nearby larger schools like McKinney North High School (96.8%) and Celina High School (97.2%). Van Alstyne also excels in English Language Arts, with 83.58% of students proficient in English II Reading, outperforming even Melissa High School (78.07%). The school is particularly effective at supporting its Special Education students, who rank in the 91st percentile statewide—a remarkable achievement compared to most schools. With a low student-to-teacher ratio of 14.3:1, students benefit from more personalized attention than at McKinney North High School (16.3:1) or Anna High School (17.4:1).

However, there are areas to watch. While Van Alstyne is a powerhouse in Biology with 87.39% proficiency, its Algebra I proficiency rate of 54.49% is only slightly above the state average and trails Melissa High School (54.72%). The school’s overall state ranking dipped to the 83rd percentile in 2025-2026, its lowest in several years. Additionally, support for English Language Learner students has dropped dramatically, from the 73rd percentile to the 36th percentile. On a positive note, Van Alstyne achieves these results with relatively modest spending of $9,707 per student—less than most comparable schools—making it a highly efficient option for families seeking strong academic outcomes without excessive costs.
