Presidio Independent School District (Isd)

The Presidio Independent School District (Isd) in Texas operates three schools: Presidio Elementary, Presidio High School, and Lucy Rede Franco Middle. The district serves a predominantly Hispanic student population, with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges.

Among the standout schools, Lucy Rede Franco Middle stands out for its strong performance on STAAR tests, particularly in reading and mathematics, with proficiency rates exceeding the district and state averages. Presidio High School also performed well on several STAAR end-of-course exams, such as Biology and U.S. History, and had a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 89.7%.

However, the district as a whole faces significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates on STAAR and STAAR EOC exams often falling well below the state averages. This disparity in academic performance suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to address the underlying factors contributing to these achievement gaps, despite the district's relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratios.
