Summary:
The Center Independent School District (Isd) in Texas is home to two high schools: Center High School and Roughrider Academy. While both schools have seen a decline in their statewide rankings over the past three years, they each offer unique strengths and challenges for students and families.
Center High School has a more diverse student population, with a significant representation of Hispanic and African American students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR EOC test scores, is generally lower than the state average, particularly in core subjects like Algebra I and Biology. Despite this, the school maintains a high four-year graduation rate of 98.2%.
In contrast, Roughrider Academy has a much smaller student population of just 46 students, but it has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 488th out of 1,876 Texas high schools in 2021-2022 to 1,543rd out of 1,987 in 2023-2024. However, the school has maintained a high four-year graduation rate of 92.3%, outperforming Center High School. The high student-teacher ratio of 418.1 at Roughrider Academy raises concerns about the school's ability to provide personalized attention and support to its students.
