Summary:
The city of Stratford, Texas is home to 3 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Stratford Independent School District (Isd). While the middle school, Stratford J H, stands out as a high-performing institution, the elementary and high schools face some challenges in academic achievement and resource allocation.
Stratford J H is a standout middle school, ranking 398 out of 2,330 Texas middle schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school consistently outperforms state and district averages on STAAR reading and math assessments, particularly in 8th grade. In contrast, Mary Allen Elementary struggles to meet state and district proficiency levels in 3rd and 4th grade reading and math.
At the high school level, Stratford High School stands out with an exceptional 97.4% 4-year graduation rate and 0% dropout rate, suggesting strong student support. However, the school also spends significantly more per student ($14,219) compared to the elementary and middle schools, potentially indicating inequities in resource allocation. Overall, the Stratford school district faces a mix of high-performing and underperforming schools, with the need to address socioeconomic challenges and ensure equitable access to resources across all grade levels.
