Summary:
The Cotulla Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district as a whole is ranked 714 out of 961 school districts in Texas and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating significant room for improvement in academic performance.
Cotulla High School stands out as a bright spot, with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 95.5% and a low dropout rate of 0.7% in 2022-2023. The school also performs better than the district and state averages on several STAAR end-of-course exams. In contrast, Ramirez-Burks Elementary, the largest school in the district with 459 students, struggles to meet state averages on STAAR assessments, particularly in mathematics and science.
Another standout is Encinal Elementary, a small school with only 75 students. Despite its size, Encinal Elementary outperforms the district and state on several STAAR assessments, particularly in reading. The school's high spending per student ($20,699 in 2020-2021) and low student-teacher ratio may contribute to its relatively stronger academic performance. Overall, the data suggests that while Cotulla ISD has some bright spots, the district as a whole faces significant challenges in improving academic outcomes for its students.
