Summary:
The Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District in Texas is home to two high schools: Uvalde High School and Crossroads Academy. While both schools serve predominantly Hispanic student populations, there are significant disparities in their academic performance, graduation rates, and resource allocation.
Uvalde High School is the larger of the two, with an enrollment of 1,129 students, compared to just 39 students at Crossroads Academy. Uvalde High School also outperforms Crossroads Academy on state assessments, with significantly higher proficiency rates in subjects like Algebra I, English I Reading, and U.S. History. Additionally, Uvalde High School has a much higher four-year graduation rate of 89.8%, compared to just 60.9% at Crossroads Academy.
Despite the higher spending per student at Crossroads Academy ($28,864 compared to $12,329 at Uvalde High School), the academic and graduation outcomes at the smaller school remain significantly lower. This raises questions about the efficient allocation of resources and the effectiveness of the spending at Crossroads Academy. Overall, the data suggests the need for further investigation into the factors contributing to the performance gaps between the two high schools in the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District.
