Summary:
The city of Agua Dulce, Texas is home to two schools - Agua Dulce High School and Agua Dulce Elementary, both part of the Agua Dulce Independent School District (Isd). The data reveals that Agua Dulce High School is the standout performer, with a 100% four-year graduation rate, 0% dropout rate, and strong STAAR test scores that exceed district and state averages, particularly in subjects like Biology, English II Reading, and U.S. History.
In contrast, Agua Dulce Elementary appears to be underperforming, with STAAR test scores trailing the state averages in most subjects and grade levels. The school's SchoolDigger ranking has fluctuated between 1 and 3 stars out of 5 in recent years, indicating room for improvement. Both schools serve a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, with Agua Dulce Elementary at 82.25% and Agua Dulce High School at 72.52%, suggesting significant socioeconomic challenges in the district.
The funding levels also differ, with Agua Dulce High School spending $12,650 per student, while Agua Dulce Elementary spends $11,276 per student. The similar student-teacher ratios between the two schools, however, suggest that class size alone may not be the primary driver of the performance gap. Other factors, such as curriculum, teaching quality, and school leadership, may be more influential in the schools' academic outcomes.
