Summary

Texasworks - Abilene is a very small alternative high school in Abilene, TX, serving just 36 students in grades 9 through 12 under the Texas Works district, which ranks near the bottom of all Texas school districts.

The most striking feature of Texasworks - Abilene is its extremely high student-to-teacher ratio of 36:1, which is more than double that of nearby Premier H S Of Abilene (18.1:1) and nearly six times higher than other alternative schools like Woodson Center For Excellence (6.2:1). This suggests very large class sizes or minimal instructional staff. Despite this challenge, the school shows a notable strength in English II Reading, where 40% of students are proficient—far exceeding its district average of 19.14% and outperforming nearby alternative schools like Taylor County Learning Center (0%) and Daep (8.33%). However, in English I Reading, only 20% of students are proficient, well below the state average of 55.43%.

Interestingly, Texasworks - Abilene shares the same address (3161 S 23rd St) as Premier H S Of Abilene, a much larger school (176 students) with a lower student-to-teacher ratio and a higher state ranking (34th percentile vs. 14th). This co-location highlights the stark differences between the two programs. The school lacks data on free/reduced lunch eligibility, graduation rates, and dropout rates, making it difficult to assess its socioeconomic profile or long-term performance. For parents considering this option, the high student-to-teacher ratio and mixed academic results suggest a need for careful inquiry into the school's instructional model and support systems.
