N Garland High School is a large school with 2,929 students and a solid 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. It boasts a high graduation rate of 93.9% and a low dropout rate of 1.0%, both better than the district average. The school shows standout performance in English, Biology, and U.S. History, consistently exceeding both district and state averages on STAAR End-of-Course exams. For example, in the 2025-2026 school year, English I Reading proficiency was 63.26%, well above the state average of 55.43%. However, the school struggles significantly in Algebra I, with a proficiency rate of 49.21% that falls below both the district (59.09%) and state (54.03%) averages. This contrast between strong humanities and science scores versus weaker math performance is a key takeaway for parents.

The school serves a predominantly low-income population, with over 71% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, making its high performance in several subjects particularly noteworthy. Its state rank has seen a slight dip from the 76th percentile to the 72nd percentile over the last two years, a trend worth monitoring. The student-teacher ratio is 17.4:1, slightly above the state average, and per-student spending was $9,472. Overall, N Garland High School is a strong choice for families, especially those prioritizing English and science education, though parents should be aware of the need for additional math support.
