Summary

Texasworks - Weslaco is a very small alternative high school in Weslaco, TX, serving just 29 students in grades 9-12 and is part of the Texas Works district, which ranks in the bottom 2% of all districts in Texas.

This school faces significant academic challenges, ranking in the 7th percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year. One of the most concerning metrics is its performance with low socioeconomic status students, where it ranks in the 0th percentile—meaning it is among the least effective schools in the entire state at serving these students. The school also has a very high student-to-teacher ratio of 29:1, which is notably higher than nearby schools like South Texas Independent School District (Isd) Science Academy (12.8:1) and even Weslaco High School (19.7:1). This high ratio suggests students may receive less individualized attention, which is especially critical for a school that likely serves as a "last chance" option for students who have struggled elsewhere.

Interestingly, Texasworks - Weslaco shares its address with Premier H S Of Weslaco, another alternative school with a larger enrollment (112 students) and a slightly higher ranking (34th percentile). Despite its low overall performance, the school shows a relative strength in English II Reading, where 28.57% of students are proficient—higher than its district average of 19.14%. However, scores in Algebra I and U.S. History (20% each) fall well below state averages. This mixed picture, combined with the stark contrast to nearby magnet schools like South Texas Independent School District (Isd) Health Professions (93rd percentile), highlights significant disparities in educational opportunity within a small geographic area.
