Summary:
The city of Edna, Texas, is served by the Edna Independent School District (Isd), which operates five public schools—Edna Pri, Edna Intermediate, Edna J H, Edna High School, and Edna Alternative—serving approximately 1,531 students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, with a district-wide free/reduced lunch rate averaging 65.85%.
Edna High School stands out as the district's academic leader, boasting a perfect 100% graduation rate and a 0.2% dropout rate, while significantly outperforming state averages in Algebra I (76.6% proficient vs. 54.03% state) and English II Reading (70.59% vs. 59.88% state). Its feeder school, Edna J H, is a powerhouse in mathematics, with every grade level (6th, 7th, and 8th) exceeding state math averages—for example, 53.91% of 7th graders were proficient in math compared to 29.41% statewide. In contrast, Edna Intermediate (grades 4-5) shows a declining state ranking and consistently below-average reading and math scores, while Edna Alternative, with only 13 students, serves a high-need population but struggles with low test scores and a 2.1% dropout rate.
Key takeaways include a clear feeder pattern of math success from Edna J H to Edna High School, though the district shows notable weaknesses in Social Studies and Science—only 20.2% of 8th graders at the middle school were proficient in Social Studies versus 31.69% statewide. The "Intermediate slump" at Edna Intermediate represents a critical transition period, yet the district's high school effectively gets students back on track, outperforming the state in three of five core End-of-Course exams. Overall, the district ranks in the 64th percentile statewide, with Edna High School as its strongest campus and Edna Alternative as its most challenged.
