Summary:
Itasca Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to a single high school, Itasca High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR EOC proficiency rates, is generally lower than the state averages, with the exception of English II Reading. Itasca High School's four-year graduation rate is 81.3%, and its dropout rate is 4.9%, both of which are areas that the school and district may need to address.
Itasca High School has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 38.54% White, 9.38% African American, 47.92% Hispanic, 2.08% Asian, and 2.08% two or more races. The school also has a high percentage of students (58.85%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the academic performance challenges the school faces.
Despite the school's lower-than-average academic performance, Itasca High School appears to be well-resourced, with a higher spending per student ($15,471) and a lower student-teacher ratio (8.9) than the state averages. However, these investments in resources have not yet translated into significantly improved student outcomes. The Itasca Independent School District and Itasca High School may need to explore more targeted strategies and interventions to address the specific challenges facing their students and drive academic growth.
