Summary:
Zip code 77533, serving the Daisetta area, is home to a single high school, Hull-Daisetta High School, which serves grades 9-12 as part of the Hull-Daisetta Independent School District (Isd).
With only 105 students, Hull-Daisetta High School offers an exceptionally intimate learning environment, boasting a student-teacher ratio of just 6.5:1 and high per-pupil spending of $18,066. However, academic performance on state STAAR End-of-Course exams is a significant concern, with proficiency rates in Algebra I (13.51%), Biology (36.67%), and English I (31.43%) falling well below state averages. The school's strongest subject is U.S. History, where 64.71% of students are proficient, nearly matching the state rate of 70.17%. The school maintains a solid 90.5% graduation rate despite these low test scores, and a high percentage of students (63.81%) qualify for free or reduced lunch, indicating a high level of economic need in the community.
The school's state ranking has been volatile, dropping from a 2-star rating (34th percentile) to a 1-star rating (16th percentile) in the most recent year, a fluctuation likely due to its small student population where the performance of just a few students can dramatically shift overall percentages. While the low student-teacher ratio and high spending suggest strong potential for personalized support, the academic results indicate that factors such as high poverty rates may be impacting outcomes. For parents, this school offers a close-knit, supportive environment but faces clear challenges in helping students meet state academic benchmarks, with the notable exception of U.S. History.
