Summary:

The Dawson Independent School District (Isd) consists of two schools: Dawson Elementary and Dawson High School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade in the Dawson area.

Dawson Elementary is a standout school, consistently ranking in the top 35% of Texas elementary schools and outperforming the district and state averages in STAAR reading and math proficiency. However, the school has a high percentage of students (80.07%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-need student population. In contrast, Dawson High School maintains a 100% four-year graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate, which are impressive achievements, but its STAAR performance is slightly below the state average in several 7th and 8th grade subjects.

Overall, the Dawson Independent School District (Isd) schools demonstrate a mix of strengths and areas for potential improvement. While Dawson Elementary provides a stable and quality education, the district may want to focus on strategies to improve the STAAR performance at Dawson High School. The high free/reduced lunch rates across both schools also suggest the need to address the needs of economically disadvantaged students.
