Summary

Horton Disciplinary Alternative Education Program is a small public high school in Weslaco, Texas that serves grades 6-12 and is part of the Weslaco Independent School District, which is ranked 594 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Horton Disciplinary Alternative Education Program is struggling significantly across nearly all metrics, performing well below state and district averages. The school has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating very poor academic performance, with 0% proficiency rates in nearly all STAAR subject tests. It also has an extremely high percentage of students (over 90%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting very high levels of poverty among the student population. Compared to other nearby schools in the Weslaco ISD, such as Weslaco High School and Weslaco 21st Century CTE Early College High School, Horton Disciplinary Alternative Education Program demonstrates significantly lower performance across test scores, graduation rates, and other key metrics.

The school's designation as a "disciplinary alternative education program" suggests it may be serving students who have been removed from the traditional school setting due to behavioral issues, which could contribute to the extremely poor academic results. The lack of progress over the past decade, with the school consistently ranking near the bottom of Texas high schools, indicates a need for a thorough evaluation of the school's programs, resources, and strategies to better support the unique needs of its student population.
