Whitney High School is a public high school serving 449 students in grades 9-12 in Whitney, Texas, which is part of the Whitney Independent School District. The school has consistently high 4-year graduation rates, ranging from 88.3% to 94.8% in recent years, which is higher than the state average and compares favorably to nearby schools like Meridian High School and Itasca High School. Additionally, Whitney High School has low dropout rates, ranging from 0.2% to 1.2%, which are lower than the state average and nearby schools.

On standardized tests, Whitney High School performs well on STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams, particularly in Biology, English I/II Reading, and U.S. History, where the school's proficiency rates exceed the state and district averages. However, the school lags behind in Algebra I proficiency. The school's Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) students perform relatively well, with their subgroup rankings often exceeding the overall school ranking, but the school's African American, Multi-racial, and Gifted and Talented student subgroups tend to perform below the overall school ranking.

Additionally, the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at Whitney High School, ranging from 56.57% to 62.12%, suggests the school may need to consider the impact of socioeconomic factors on student performance and provide additional support and resources to address these challenges.

This school has been terrible. My children are'nt even allowed to go to the bathroom when they need to. There is not enough time be going while you have to nearly run to your next class to not be late. A majority of the teachers jsut play in their phones and computers all day anyway, why not let the child go to the bathroom? Close Quote
