Summary:
Zip code 75098 in Wylie, Texas, is home to three high schools—Wylie High School, Wylie East High School, and Achieve Academy—serving grades 9-12 (with Achieve Academy also covering grades 5-8) within the highly-rated Wylie Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 96th percentile statewide.
For parents, the standout traditional school is Wylie High School, which earns a 5-star rating and ranks in the top 10% of Texas high schools. It leads the area with a 98.7% graduation rate, the lowest dropout rate, and the highest test scores, especially in English and U.S. History. Wylie East High School is also a strong choice, earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the top 15% of the state. It has a 98.1% graduation rate and competitive scores, with a notable strength in Biology. Both schools far exceed state averages in every subject. In contrast, Achieve Academy is a small alternative campus with a 1-star rating and ranks in the bottom 20%. It has a lower 95.7% graduation rate and significantly lower test scores, but it spends over $25,000 per student and has a very low student-teacher ratio of 8.4:1, indicating it serves students with higher needs.
A key takeaway is the clear performance gap between the two large high schools and the alternative campus, despite Achieve Academy receiving more than double the funding per student. Wylie High School consistently outperforms Wylie East High School in state rankings and literacy, with an 8-percentage-point advantage in English I Reading. However, Wylie East showed a notable recovery in Algebra I scores after a sharp drop, suggesting effective intervention. Overall, the Wylie Independent School District (Isd) provides excellent education for most students, with both main high schools ranking among the top in Texas.
