Summary:
The city of Louise, Texas is home to three public schools serving students from elementary through high school: Louise Elementary, Louise High School, and Louise J H (middle school). These schools operate under the Louise Independent School District (Isd) and serve a diverse student population with a high percentage of students from low-income families.
Among the standout schools, Louise High School shines with a 96.8% 4-year graduation rate, 0% dropout rate, and strong performance on state assessments that exceeds the state average. In contrast, Louise Elementary struggles with early grade reading and math proficiency, scoring well below the state average, while Louise J H has mixed results, outperforming the state on 6th grade tests but underperforming on 7th and 8th grade assessments.
Across the district, a high percentage of students (63-72%) qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a predominantly low-income population. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the academic challenges observed, particularly at the elementary level. Additionally, the significant difference in per-student spending between the high school ($16,649) and the elementary school ($10,597) suggests potential funding disparities within the district that could be addressed to ensure equitable resource allocation and support student success across all grade levels.
