Summary:
The Post Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one middle school, Post Middle, which serves grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 183 students. The school faces significant academic and socioeconomic challenges, with declining performance and a need for targeted interventions to support student success.
Post Middle's student population is predominantly Hispanic (64.48%), with a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (66.12%). The school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is consistently below the state averages across all subject areas and grade levels, particularly in mathematics. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of 6th-grade students proficient or better in STAAR Reading at Post Middle was 36%, compared to the state average of 54.45%.
The school's ranking has declined over the past few years, from 1567 out of 2254 Texas middle schools in 2021-2022 to 2019 out of 2361 in the 2023-2024 school year, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. This trend, coupled with the high per-student spending and the district's overall low ranking, suggests that the effective allocation and utilization of resources may be an area of concern. Developing and implementing targeted interventions and strategies to address the specific academic and socioeconomic challenges faced by the students at Post Middle should be a priority for the school and district.
