Summary

Wylie East High School is a large, high-performing public high school in Wylie, TX, serving 2,709 students in grades 9-12 as part of the highly-rated Wylie Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 96th percentile statewide. The school has earned a consistent 4-star rating for the last decade and currently ranks in the 90th percentile (205 out of 2,009) for the 2025-2026 school year, with a student-teacher ratio of 17.1:1 and about 28% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

While Wylie East is a strong school, it is consistently outperformed by its in-district counterpart, Wylie High School, which ranks 183rd (91st percentile, 5 stars) for the same period. The school shows a fascinating dichotomy in its test scores: it excels in Biology (85.41% proficient) and U.S. History (86.68% proficient), both exceeding the district average, but struggles in Algebra I, where only 75.56% of students are proficient—well above the state average (54.03%) but significantly lower than the district average (82.92%). This Algebra I gap has been consistent for several years, lagging 10-15 percentage points behind the district. Wylie East also spends $11,204 per student, which is higher than its direct competitor Wylie High ($10,515) and significantly higher than other top-performing nearby schools like Rockwall High School ($8,276) and Plano East Senior High School ($8,235).

Wylie East demonstrates a significant strength in serving its African American student population, which ranks in the 90th percentile (106th of 1,086) and earns a 5-star rating—the only subgroup at the school to achieve this in the most recent data. The school also shows a clear upward trend in supporting diverse learners, with "Low Socio-Economic Status" students improving from the 75th to the 85th percentile and "Special Education" students jumping from the 78th to the 88th percentile over the past two years. In contrast, the nearby Achieve Academy, also part of Wylie ISD, is a small alternative school (133 students) with a 1-star rating and dramatically lower test scores (e.g., 28.57% proficient in English II vs. Wylie East's 80.61%), yet it spends a staggering $25,817 per student—more than double Wylie East's spending—highlighting that high spending does not guarantee high test scores and likely reflects serving a student population with significantly higher needs.
