Detroit Independent School District (Isd)

The Detroit Independent School District (Isd) in Texas operates three schools: one elementary, one middle, and one high school. The district serves a predominantly white student population, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges.

Among the standout schools, Detroit High School shines with a 92.3% 4-year graduation rate, significantly higher than the state average, and a low 0.7% dropout rate. The high school also outperforms the district and state averages in several STAAR EOC exams, including Biology, English I and II Reading, and U.S. History. In contrast, the Detroit Elementary and Detroit J H (Middle School) generally perform below the state averages in STAAR Reading and Mathematics, indicating a need for improvement at the lower grade levels.

The district's spending per student varies, with the high school receiving the highest amount at $18,042, compared to $13,080 for the middle school. This may suggest a need to re-evaluate the distribution of resources within the district to ensure more equitable funding across all grade levels.
