Temple Independent School District (Isd)

The Temple Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates a diverse set of 14 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district serves a student population that is predominantly economically disadvantaged, with high rates of racial diversity across the schools.

Among the standout schools in Temple ISD, Kennedy-Powell Elementary stands out for its high academic performance, with 47-58% of students proficient or better in reading and 40-46% in math, despite serving a student population that is 59.86% economically disadvantaged. Bonham Middle also excels, with 41-47% proficiency in reading and 19-53% in math, the highest among the district's middle schools. At the high school level, Fred W. Edwards Academy AEC, an alternative school, stands out with a high 4-year graduation rate of 94% despite serving a predominantly economically disadvantaged and racially diverse student population.

However, the data also reveals significant challenges and disparities across the district. While some schools, like Hector P. Garcia Elementary and Cater Elementary, struggle to meet state proficiency standards, others, such as Travis Science Academy, excel, particularly in specialized subjects like Algebra I. The district's wide range in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios also suggests uneven resource allocation, which may contribute to the disparities in educational outcomes.
