Sweetwater Independent School District (Isd)


Summary:

The Sweetwater Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district's academic performance is a concern, with schools generally underperforming compared to state averages on standardized tests. However, Sweetwater Middle School stands out with strong proficiency rates in Algebra I, suggesting it may be excelling in math instruction.

Despite the relatively high spending per student across the district, ranging from $10,553 to $12,403, the schools in Sweetwater ISD struggle academically. Southeast Elementary has the highest percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 86.79%, indicating a high-need student population, yet it also has the highest spending per student among the elementary schools. The district's low rankings and proficiency rates suggest the need for a closer examination of instructional practices, resource allocation, and targeted interventions to support student learning.

Sweetwater High School has a 87.3% four-year graduation rate and a 3.6% dropout rate, which are areas of concern compared to state averages. The school's student population is the most diverse in the district, with 55.41% Hispanic, 34.13% White, and 6.06% African American students. Addressing the academic challenges and supporting the diverse needs of students at Sweetwater High School will be crucial for improving the overall performance of Sweetwater ISD.
