Summary

Whitesboro High School is a mid-sized high school in Whitesboro, TX, serving 508 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Whitesboro Independent School District (Isd), which holds a 3-star rating and ranks in the 62nd percentile statewide. The school itself earns a 3-star rating, placing it solidly in the middle of Texas high schools, with a strong student-to-teacher ratio of 12.4:1 and a consistently high graduation rate around 94-98% over the last five years.

Whitesboro’s standout strength is its exceptional performance in Biology, where 85.83% of students scored proficient—15 points above the state average and the highest among nearby schools, even outperforming the top-rated Pottsboro High School (78.3%). However, the school faces a significant challenge in Algebra I, with a proficiency rate of just 34.91%, nearly 20 points below the state average. This creates a striking 50-point gap between its best and worst subjects, the largest among comparable schools. On a positive note, Whitesboro excels in supporting its Special Education students, ranking in the 78th percentile statewide with a 4-star rating, a notable achievement compared to nearby schools. The school also performs competitively in English I and II Reading, with scores above the state average and better than many neighbors like Sherman High School and Gainesville High School.

After a dip in performance during the 2023-2024 school year, Whitesboro is on an upward trajectory, improving its overall rank from the 43rd to the 56th percentile over the last two years. This recovery is visible across subjects, including a notable jump in Algebra I proficiency from 11.11% to 34.91%. While the school cannot match the overall performance of its high-performing neighbor Pottsboro, it can claim a unique point of pride in Biology. Despite academic challenges in some areas, Whitesboro maintains a high graduation rate comparable to top schools, suggesting strong support systems and a dedicated staff focused on student success.
