Brooks County Independent School District (Isd)

The Brooks County Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district as a whole is ranked 883 out of 961 school districts in Texas and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges in providing quality education to its students.

Based on the data, there are no clear standout schools within the Brooks County ISD. All of the schools have relatively low statewide rankings and performance metrics compared to state averages. The highest-performing school appears to be Falfurrias J H (middle school), which had the best STAAR test scores in the district, particularly in Algebra I. However, it still ranks in the bottom 15% of Texas middle schools. The district and its schools consistently perform well below the state average on STAAR tests across all grade levels and subjects, with proficiency rates ranging from 16.33% in English II Reading to 50% in Biology at Falfurrias High School.

The data also reveals that all schools in the district have very high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 87.27% at Falfurrias High School to 93.97% at Falfurrias Elementary. This suggests that the district serves a predominantly low-income population, which likely contributes to the schools' struggles. Additionally, the differences in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios across the schools indicate that resource allocation within the district may not be equitable, which could be an area for further investigation.
