Snyder High School presents a mixed academic profile. The school excels in U.S. History, with 79.08% of students proficient in the 2025-2026 school year, outperforming the state average by nearly nine percentage points. Biology proficiency is close to the state average at 69.46%. However, the school struggles significantly in Algebra I (21.89% proficient) and English I Reading (30.19% proficient), both roughly half the state average. This creates a stark contrast where U.S. History proficiency is nearly four times higher than Algebra I. The school's state ranking has improved, moving from the 29th percentile (1 star) in 2024-2025 to the 35th percentile (2 stars) in 2025-2026. A notable positive is the strong graduation rate of 95.3% for the 2023-2024 school year, though this contrasts with low proficiency in core subjects, suggesting students may meet graduation requirements without achieving grade-level mastery on STAAR EOC exams.
Key metrics include a student-teacher ratio of 13.4:1, spending of $13,421 per student, and 61.25% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch. The dropout rate is 0.7%, slightly higher than the district average of 0.4%. A significant year-over-year volatility is seen in Biology, where proficiency dropped from 69.46% in 2025-2026 to 42.07% in 2024-2025, a 27-percentage-point swing. The school's test scores are identical to the district's for all subjects except Algebra I, where the district's score is higher (27.7% vs. 21.89%), an anomaly worth investigating. Overall, Snyder High School is a school of contrasts, with clear strengths in history and biology but significant challenges in math and reading.
