Summary:
The Raymondville Independent School District (Isd) in Texas operates 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is an alternative school). The district serves a predominantly Hispanic student population, with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Within the district, Pittman Elementary and Myra Green Middle stand out as the top-performing schools. Pittman Elementary consistently ranks in the top 20% of Texas elementary schools and outperforms the district and state averages on STAAR reading and math tests. Myra Green Middle is also a high-performing school, ranking in the top 25% of Texas middle schools and exceeding the district and state averages on STAAR assessments, particularly in 8th grade math.
In contrast, the district's high schools, including Raymondville High School and Raymondville Options Academic Academy, struggle academically, with lower proficiency rates compared to the district and state. This stark contrast in performance suggests that the district may need to focus on addressing the challenges faced by the high schools and alternative school to improve overall student outcomes, particularly given the significant socioeconomic challenges faced by the district's student population.
