Summary:
In zip code 77474, there is one high school, Sealy High School, serving grades 9 through 12 in the Sealy Independent School District (Isd), with a total enrollment of 1,002 students.
Sealy High School shows a mixed performance profile. The school has a strong graduation rate of 93.9% and a very low dropout rate of 0.5%, indicating it is effective at keeping students on track to graduate. However, its state test scores are generally below the Texas state average. The most recent data shows proficiency in English I Reading (55.77%) is slightly above the state average, but Algebra I proficiency (40.22%) is significantly lower. The school has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 14.7:1 and spends $10,699 per student. Over 61% of students are economically disadvantaged, a factor that often correlates with academic challenges. The school's state ranking has declined slightly over the past three years, from the 50th percentile to the 43rd percentile.
A notable positive trend is the significant improvement in Algebra I scores, which jumped from 31.55% to 40.22% proficiency in one year, suggesting recent interventions may be working. The school's performance is a study in contrasts: it excels at retaining students and graduating them, but struggles to bring test scores up to state averages in most subjects. This paradox highlights a potential focus on supporting students through to graduation, even as academic proficiency in math and science remains an area for growth. The recent gains in math are a promising sign for families concerned about STEM education.
