High Schools in Houston Heights High School


Summary:

The Houston Heights High School district contains only one high school, the Houston Heights Charter School. This school has consistently underperformed, ranking in the bottom 15-20% of Texas high schools and earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR EOC exam proficiency rates, is significantly below the state average across all subjects.

The Houston Heights Charter School also faces challenges with its graduation and dropout rates. Its 4-year graduation rate for 2022-2023 was 70.9%, lower than the state average, and its dropout rate for 2021-2022 was 8.9%, higher than the state average. The school serves a predominantly Hispanic (78.61%) and African American (16.18%) student population, likely with a significant proportion of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9:1 and higher-than-average per-student spending of $11,938 for the 2020-2021 school year, the Houston Heights Charter School has struggled to provide a high-quality education to its students. This suggests a potential misalignment between the resources available to the school and its ability to effectively utilize those resources to drive student achievement.
