In zip code 75189, there is one high school, Royse City High School, serving grades 9 through 12 with a large enrollment of 2,834 students in the Royse City area.
Royse City High School presents a mixed picture for parents. On one hand, the school boasts an excellent graduation rate of 95.3% and a very low dropout rate of 0.8%, indicating it is highly effective at keeping students on track to earn a diploma. The student-teacher ratio of 14.9 is slightly better than the state average, suggesting relatively smaller class sizes. However, the school's academic proficiency on state exams is generally below state averages, creating a notable disconnect between graduation success and academic mastery. The school's state ranking has also declined significantly, dropping from the 55th percentile (3 stars) in 2023-2024 to the 40th percentile (2 stars) in 2025-2026.
The most significant academic weaknesses are in Algebra I, where only 33.28% of students are proficient (compared to the state average of 54.03%), and U.S. History, with 56.3% proficiency (well below the state average of 70.17%). A bright spot is English I Reading, where the school slightly outperforms the state average at 56.66%. The school is part of the Royse City Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 52nd percentile district-wide. Notably, the high school's performance lags behind the district's overall average, suggesting that the district's rating is supported by stronger performance at its elementary and middle schools.
