Summary:
The city of Charlotte, Texas is home to three schools in the Charlotte Independent School District (ISD), including one elementary school, one middle school, and one high school. While the district serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, with high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the academic performance across all three schools is consistently low compared to state averages.
None of the schools in the Charlotte ISD stand out as clear high performers. Charlotte Elementary and Charlotte Middle rank in the bottom quartile of their respective school types statewide, with proficiency rates on STAAR exams significantly below state averages. However, Charlotte High School does have a strong four-year graduation rate of 96.6%, which is above the state average, despite its overall low academic performance.
Across the district, spending per student is above the state average, ranging from $14,825 at Charlotte Elementary to $17,085 at Charlotte High School. Additionally, the student-teacher ratios are lower than the state average, suggesting that the district is allocating resources towards smaller class sizes. However, these investments do not appear to be translating into improved student outcomes, indicating potential challenges in how resources are being utilized or other systemic issues within the district.
