Broaddus H S, San Augustine TX - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Broaddus H S

Broaddus High School serves a small rural district in East Texas as a combined PreK-12 campus. The school enrolls a small student body across all grade levels, with the largest secondary grades in the freshman and junior cohorts. A substantial share of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and the enrollment is predominantly white, with smaller populations of Hispanic, multiracial, and other students.

The school's state test results reveal uneven performance across subjects and grade levels. In English language arts, the school shows relative strength: middle grades in particular reach proficiency benchmarks well above half, with seventh and eighth graders posting the highest rates. Reading foundations appear solid in the early elementary years. Math proficiency is moderate across grades three through eight, clustering in the low-to-mid range. Science presents a notable soft spot. Fifth-grade science results fall substantially below math and reading. By eighth grade, science improves but still lags the school's performance in other subjects. Social studies shows the most pronounced weakness; eighth-grade results on this assessment fall well below the school's other tested areas. A parent may want to look into what instructional support the school offers in science and social studies, particularly in the upper grades, to understand whether this gap reflects resource constraints, staffing challenges, or other factors the district recognizes and is addressing.

The school sits above the midpoint among the two districts in San Augustine County when comparing overall proficiency across tested subjects and grades, a positioning that reflects the school's relative strength in reading even as math and especially science and social studies pull the aggregate lower.

Graduation rate data was not available, so no information on secondary completion or college and career readiness pathways is provided here. State testing data covers only grades three through eight, so no assessment results exist for grades nine through twelve.

The district approved a bond in 2023 that funds a new elementary school and a new gymnasium. This capital investment reflects the community's commitment to facilities, though it also carries tax implications for households in the district. San Augustine itself is a small historic county seat with a declining population, aging housing stock, and a local economy centered on health care, retail, and government employment. The town has pursued downtown revitalization through historic preservation rather than new growth. Homes in the area are modestly valued relative to state and national benchmarks, making this an affordable housing market for families seeking a rural setting with low cost of entry.

The federal source publishes a banded range instead of an exact rate when the graduating cohort is small enough that an exact number could risk identifying individual students.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
