Summary:
In zip code 75119, there is one high school, Ennis High School, serving grades 9 through 12 in the Ennis area, with a total enrollment of 1,887 students.
Ennis High School is part of the Ennis Independent School District (Isd) and shows a notable paradox in its performance. The school excels at keeping students in school, boasting a very high 97.2% graduation rate and an exceptionally low 0.1% dropout rate for the 2023-2024 school year. However, its academic proficiency on state tests consistently falls below state averages across all subjects, with the most recent data showing the largest gap in Algebra I, where only 22.88% of students are proficient compared to the state average of 54.03%. The school's state ranking has been on a declining trend, dropping from the 42nd percentile in 2023-2024 to a projected 32nd percentile for 2025-2026, indicating it is not keeping pace with academic improvements statewide. With 59.67% of students economically disadvantaged, the school serves a diverse population but faces significant academic challenges, particularly in mathematics.
U.S. History is a relative strength for Ennis High School, as it was the only subject where the school nearly matched the state average in the 2024-2025 school year. The school's performance closely mirrors the district average in most subjects, except for Algebra I, where the high school significantly underperforms the district average. This suggests a specific weakness at the high school level in foundational math. Overall, while Ennis High School is effective at student retention and graduation, its primary challenge is improving academic achievement to ensure students are mastering core subjects at grade level.
