Summary:
The Redwater Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates four schools, including one elementary school, two middle schools, and one high school. Overall, the district appears to be a high-performing system, with all of its schools earning 4 or 5 stars from SchoolDigger.
The standout school in the district is Redwater J H, a middle school that ranked 199 out of 2,330 Texas middle schools in 2022-2023. This school had exceptional STAAR test scores, with 84% of 7th graders and 76% of 8th graders scoring proficient or better in reading, and 55% of 7th graders and 74% of 8th graders scoring proficient or better in math. Redwater J H also boasts a 0% dropout rate. Redwater High School also performs well, ranking 385 out of 1,961 Texas high schools and earning a 4-star rating, with a 96.4% 4-year graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate.
While the Redwater ISD schools generally have strong academic metrics, the racial demographics of the schools do not fully reflect the broader community, with a much higher percentage of white students compared to state averages. Additionally, the significant variation in per-student spending between the schools, ranging from $8,040 to $14,844, suggests potential equity concerns that warrant further investigation. The relatively high free/reduced lunch eligibility rates, especially at Redwater Intermediate (62.11%), also indicate a need to support economically disadvantaged students in the district.
