Vernon Independent School District (Isd) Opportunity Center

Public Grades 9-12
Summary

The Vernon Independent School District (ISD) Opportunity Center is a small high school in Vernon, Texas, serving just 14 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Vernon ISD, which is ranked 833 out of 961 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The Opportunity Center has some unique characteristics compared to nearby schools. It has relatively low dropout rates, ranging from 0.0% to 1.2% in recent years, which is lower than the district's overall dropout rate. However, the school's performance on STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams is significantly lower than the district and state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 40% of students were proficient or better in U.S. History, compared to 47.76% for the district and 67.94% for the state. The Opportunity Center also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 64.29% to 80% in recent years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Compared to the nearby North Texas State Hospital - AFP - Vernon and Vernon High School, both also part of the Vernon ISD, the Opportunity Center's performance is generally lower. The school's small size, high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, and lower academic performance suggest that it may face significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, which could be reflective of the broader challenges facing the Vernon ISD as a whole.
