Summary:
The Aransas Pass Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district serves a high-need student population, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 64.81% to 67.17% across the schools.
Aransas Pass High School stands out with a relatively strong 92.2% four-year graduation rate and a low 0.9% dropout rate in 2022-2023. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR end-of-course (EOC) exam proficiency rates, is below the state average across most subjects. In contrast, Charlie Marshall Elementary has the highest percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 67.17% and significantly underperforms the state average on STAAR reading and math assessments.
Across the Aransas Pass ISD, STAAR proficiency rates are generally below the state average, particularly in math and science. The district's per-student spending ranges from $9,631 to $12,665, with the high school spending the most per student. The varying resource allocation and consistently underperforming academic results suggest the need for a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve educational outcomes for all students in the district.
