Summary:
The Sweetwater Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one high school, Sweetwater High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has been consistently below the state average, with a statewide ranking that has fluctuated between 1305 and 1429 out of 1876 to 1987 Texas high schools over the past three school years, and a rating of 1 to 2 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger.
Sweetwater High School's academic challenges are evident in its low proficiency rates on STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams, ranging from 26.32% in Algebra I to 59.56% in U.S. History for the 2023-2024 school year. The school's four-year graduation rate for the 2022-2023 school year was 87.3%, and its dropout rate for the 2021-2022 school year was 3.6%. The student population at Sweetwater High School is diverse, with a high percentage of students (63.85%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population.
While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.4 for the 2022-2023 school year, and a per-student spending of $12,122 for the 2020-2021 school year, these factors have not translated into strong academic performance. The data suggests that the school and district may need to focus on targeted interventions and support systems to address the academic challenges faced by the diverse and predominantly low-income student population at Sweetwater High School.
