Belton Independent School District (Isd)

Summary:

The Belton Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates a total of 19 schools, including 12 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district as a whole is ranked 426 out of 961 school districts in Texas and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Within the district, a few standout schools emerge. Lakewood Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and exceptional student performance on STAAR tests. Lake Belton High School is the top-performing high school in the district, with a 4-star rating and the highest STAAR EOC proficiency rates. Lake Belton Middle also stands out with a 4-star rating and strong performance on STAAR tests, particularly in Reading and Mathematics.

The district's schools exhibit a wide range of performance, with some schools significantly outperforming the district and state averages, while others struggle. The data suggests significant socioeconomic disparities within the district, as indicated by the varying free and reduced lunch rates across the schools. By identifying and replicating the practices of the top-performing schools, the district may be able to raise the overall academic performance of its schools and address these disparities.
