Summary

Waxahachie Global High School is a small, high-performing public high school in Waxahachie, TX, serving 369 students in grades 9-12 as a school of choice within the Waxahachie Independent School District (Isd).

This school is an academic standout, ranking in the 95th percentile statewide—a stark contrast to nearby comprehensive high schools. For example, Waxahachie High School ranks in the 44th percentile, while Red Oak High School and Desoto High School rank in the 39th and 27th percentiles, respectively. Even the best-performing nearby schools, like Midlothian Heritage High School (80th percentile) and Midlothian High School (77th percentile), trail significantly. The school’s STAAR test scores are elite, with proficiency rates far exceeding district and state averages—for instance, 97.87% proficient in Biology and 94.06% in English II Reading. A key advantage is its small class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio of 12.9:1, compared to 15.7:1 at Waxahachie High School and 18.3:1 at DeSoto High School.

Waxahachie Global High School excels across nearly all student subgroups, earning 5-star ratings for Hispanic, White, African American, English Language Learners, Special Education, and low-income students. Its performance with Special Education students is particularly notable, ranking in the 98th percentile. However, its Gifted and Talented students rank lower, at the 83rd percentile, suggesting the school’s rigorous environment may not fully challenge its most advanced learners. This school is a model of equity and excellence, offering a focused, supportive environment that dramatically outperforms its district peers. For families seeking a top-tier academic experience in the Waxahachie area, this is the premier option.
