In zip code 78648, there is one high school, Luling High School, which serves grades 9 through 12 in the rural community of Luling, Texas, as part of the Luling Independent School District (Isd).
Luling High School is a small school with 402 students and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.1 to 1, which allows for more individualized attention. The school has shown consistent improvement in its state ranking over the past three years, moving from the 26th percentile to the 41st percentile. A standout achievement is its strong graduation rate of 94.2%, which is particularly notable given that over 80% of its students are economically disadvantaged. The school also keeps a very low dropout rate of just 0.9%.

However, a critical area of weakness is Algebra I, where only 29.41% of students are proficient, which is nearly 25 percentage points below the state average. The school also shows some year-over-year volatility in science, with Biology proficiency jumping from 52.53% to 65% in the most recent year. Overall, Luling High School demonstrates resilience and steady improvement, though targeted support in foundational math is clearly needed.
