Summary:
Zip code 75929 is home to a single school, Broaddus High School, which serves students from Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade within the Broaddus Independent School District (Isd).
Despite being classified as an alternative school, Broaddus High School delivers standout academic results, particularly at the high school level. With a total enrollment of 377 students and a very low student-teacher ratio of 10.1 to 1, the school achieves a 100% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate. Its performance on End-of-Course (EOC) exams is exceptional, with proficiency rates dramatically exceeding state averages in every subject—for example, 93.55% proficiency in Biology compared to the state's 70.51%, and 94.12% in U.S. History versus 70.17% statewide. The school also shows consistent year-over-year improvement in core high school subjects like Algebra I, Biology, and English I Reading. However, a notable pattern emerges in 6th grade, where the school falls below state averages in both reading (43.75% vs. 53.52%) and math (31.25% vs. 38.57%), marking a clear area for targeted intervention. Additionally, 5th grade science performance was a weak point in the 2024-2025 school year, with only 19.05% proficiency.
While over 71% of students are economically disadvantaged, the school leverages its high per-student spending of $20,256 and small class sizes to overcome socioeconomic barriers and achieve strong results. The elementary and middle school grades generally perform above state averages in reading and math, with 3rd grade reading (76.67% vs. 51.08%) and 7th grade math (50.0% vs. 29.41%) being particular strengths. For parents, Broaddus High School offers a high-performing, personalized educational environment with a proven track record of academic excellence at the high school level, though attention to the 6th grade slump and elementary science is warranted.
