Lasara Independent School District (Isd)

The Lasara Independent School District (Isd) in Texas is home to two schools: Lasara Elementary and Lasara High School. Both schools serve a predominantly Hispanic student population, with Lasara Elementary at 97.61% and Lasara High School at 100% Hispanic. However, the schools are struggling academically, with both ranking in the bottom tiers of Texas schools based on the SchoolDigger rankings.

The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 85.66% for Lasara Elementary and 86% for Lasara High School, suggests that the schools are serving a population with significant economic disadvantages. This may contribute to the academic challenges faced by the district. Additionally, there appears to be an imbalance in resource allocation, with Lasara High School spending $19,511 per student compared to $14,486 per student at Lasara Elementary.

Despite the academic and socioeconomic challenges, the schools in the Lasara ISD have commendable dropout rates of 0.0% and a 95.2% four-year graduation rate at Lasara High School. However, the consistently low academic performance across multiple years indicates a systemic issue that needs to be addressed. Addressing the unique needs and circumstances of the district's predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged student population will be crucial in improving educational outcomes.
