Summary:
The Triumph Public High Schools-Laredo district in Texas operates two high schools, Triumph Public High Schools-Laredo North and Triumph Public High Schools-Laredo South, both of which serve a predominantly Hispanic student population. While the schools have relatively low enrollment, with 125 and 90 students respectively, they face significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to their students.
Academically, both schools perform well below the state average on STAAR End-of-Course exams across all subjects, with proficiency rates ranging from 16.67% to 31.03% compared to the state average of 44.73% in Algebra I. This low academic performance is a major concern, and the district will need to implement comprehensive strategies to improve teaching, curriculum, and support for students. Graduation rates also vary, with Triumph Public High Schools-Laredo South having a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 89.5%, while Triumph Public High Schools-Laredo North has a much lower rate of 61.5%.
Despite the challenges, the Triumph Public High Schools-Laredo district appears to allocate similar levels of funding to both schools, with per-student spending of $13,447 and $13,658 respectively. This suggests that the performance differences are not primarily driven by resource constraints, but rather by other factors such as teaching quality, curriculum, and support for students. Addressing these issues will be crucial for the district to provide a high-quality education and improve outcomes for its students.
