Taft Independent School District (Isd)


Summary:

The Taft Independent School District (Isd) in Texas operates three schools: one elementary, one middle, and one high school. Unfortunately, the data indicates that these schools are consistently underperforming compared to state averages across a range of metrics, including test scores, graduation rates, and economic disadvantage.

None of the Taft ISD schools stand out as high-performing. Woodroe Petty Elementary has the lowest test scores, with students performing significantly below state averages. The middle school, Ricardo L Trevino J H, also struggles with very low math proficiency. At the high school level, Taft High School has a graduation rate below the state average.

Across the district, the schools serve a predominantly Hispanic student population, with over 80% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This high level of economic disadvantage likely contributes to the schools' low academic performance. Additionally, the district appears to have issues with equitable resource allocation, as spending per student varies widely between the schools. Addressing these systemic challenges will be crucial for improving educational outcomes for students in the Taft Independent School District.
