High Schools in Raven School

The Raven School District has only one high school, the Thomas Buzbee Vocational School, which serves a small student population of just 56 students. Despite the high per-student spending of $28,570, the school consistently ranks among the lowest-performing high schools in Texas, receiving a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The Thomas Buzbee Vocational School struggles with significant challenges, including a very low four-year graduation rate of 18.2%, a high dropout rate of 21.5%, and poor academic performance on standardized tests, with 0% proficiency in Algebra I and English I Reading. The school's diverse student body, with 51.79% Hispanic, 23.21% African American, and 21.43% White students, comes from a high-poverty background, with 94.64% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

These findings raise concerns about the effectiveness of the school's educational programs and the resources available to support student success. While the high per-student spending suggests a significant investment in the school, the data indicates that the school is failing to provide a quality education and prepare students for success. Further investigation into the underlying factors contributing to the school's poor performance and the broader challenges facing the Raven School District would be crucial in identifying strategies to improve student outcomes.
