Summary:
The Benavides Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one high school, Benavides Secondary, which serves students in grades 9-12. This school has a predominantly Hispanic student population and faces significant academic challenges, with consistently low performance on state assessments compared to state and district averages.
Benavides Secondary's STAAR test scores are well below the state averages across all subject areas and grade levels, with proficiency rates ranging from 0% to 38% compared to the state averages of 31% to 56%. The school has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger and is ranked 1882 out of 1961 high schools in Texas, indicating it is one of the lowest-performing schools in the state. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 85.96% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the school's academic struggles, it has a relatively high per-student spending of $22,351, which is higher than the state average. However, this does not seem to be translating into improved student outcomes. The school's lack of racial and ethnic diversity, with nearly all students identifying as Hispanic, may also be a factor in its educational challenges. Overall, the data suggests that Benavides Secondary faces significant hurdles in providing a high-quality education to its students and requires a comprehensive review of its educational strategies, resource allocation, and support systems to address these issues.
