Shepherd Independent School District (Isd)

The Shepherd Independent School District (Isd) in Texas operates 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools (Shepherd Pri and Shepherd Intermediate), 1 middle school (Shepherd Middle), and 1 high school (Shepherd High School). The district serves a diverse student population, with a mix of White, Hispanic, and African American students, and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Among the standout schools in the district, Shepherd High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 93.8% and a low dropout rate of 1.2%. The school also performs better than the district and state averages on some STAAR EOC exams, such as Biology and U.S. History. Shepherd Middle School also outperforms the district and state averages on the Algebra I STAAR EOC exam, with 72.73% proficiency compared to 27.59% and 44.73% respectively.

However, the Shepherd ISD as a whole is ranked 842 out of 968 in Texas and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating that it is performing below average compared to other districts in the state. Across the schools, there is a consistent pattern of underperformance on STAAR exams compared to the state averages, which may suggest potential equity issues within the district that need to be addressed.
