Summary:
Dekalb Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one high school, Dekalb High School, which serves grades 9-12. This small, low-income school has a mixed academic performance, with strengths in its exceptional graduation and dropout rates but areas for improvement in math and reading proficiency.
Dekalb High School has 272 students, with a majority White population (56.62%) and a high percentage of students (66.54%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's performance on STAAR End-of-Course exams is variable, with strong results in Biology and U.S. History but lower proficiency rates in Algebra I and English Language Arts compared to district and state averages. However, the school boasts an impressive 98.1% four-year graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate, which are excellent achievements.
Despite the school's mixed academic performance, it appears to be well-resourced, with a relatively high spending per student ($13,351) and a low student-teacher ratio (11.1). This suggests the district is allocating significant resources to support Dekalb High School, which may contribute to the school's strong graduation and dropout rates. Further analysis of the school's strategies for supporting its socioeconomically disadvantaged student population could provide valuable insights for improving overall academic outcomes.
