Summary

Whitehouse High School is a large, high-performing public high school in Whitehouse, TX, serving 1,404 students in grades 9-12 as part of the highly-rated Whitehouse Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 94th percentile statewide. This school has earned a 4-star rating for nine consecutive years and currently ranks in the 81st percentile (376 out of 2,009 schools), making it a reliable, top-tier option in the area. It consistently outperforms many nearby schools, including Tyler Legacy High School (60th percentile), Chapel Hill High School (42nd percentile), and Arp High School (47th percentile), while performing on par with Bullard High School (83rd percentile).

Academically, Whitehouse excels across core subjects, with STAAR End-of-Course proficiency rates well above state averages in English I (68.98% vs. 55.43%), English II (77.01% vs. 59.88%), Biology (80.2% vs. 70.51%), and U.S. History (86.57% vs. 70.17%). A standout strength is its exceptional support for English Language Learners, who ranked in the 92nd percentile statewide in 2023-2024. However, Algebra I proficiency (58.97%) lags behind the district average (71.72%), suggesting a potential area for growth. The school also demonstrates impressive efficiency, spending just $9,474 per student—significantly less than peers like Troup High School ($14,145) and Bullard High School ($11,481)—while achieving stronger outcomes.

While Whitehouse is a stable anchor in the community, recent trends warrant attention. The graduation rate dipped from 96.2% (2022-2023) to 93.9% (2023-2024), and the dropout rate rose from 1.0% to 1.5%. Performance for some subgroups, such as Multi-racial and Gifted and Talented students, has also shown volatility. Still, compared to struggling nearby schools like Premier H S Of Tyler (4th percentile) or Trinity Charter Schools - Virtual Reclaim Academy (5th percentile), Whitehouse remains a strong, well-managed choice. It’s worth noting that the elite Tyler Independent School District (Isd) Early College High School (98th percentile) is a selective magnet school, while Whitehouse serves a broad, inclusive population—making its consistent high performance especially commendable.
