Dimmitt Independent School District (Isd)

The Dimmitt Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates three schools: Richardson Elementary, Dimmitt High School, and Dimmitt Middle. The district serves a population with significant economic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch across all three schools.

Among the standout schools in the district, Dimmitt Middle School stands out for its strong performance on STAAR Algebra I End-of-Course (EOC) exams, with 85% of students proficient or better in 2024-2025, significantly higher than the district and state averages. Dimmitt High School also performs well, with a strong 4-year graduation rate of 96.2% for the 2022-2023 school year, outperforming the state average.

However, the data reveals that the schools in the Dimmitt ISD are consistently underperforming compared to state averages on STAAR assessments, particularly in reading, math, and science. This suggests that the district may need to implement targeted interventions and support to improve academic outcomes for its students. While the district as a whole faces significant challenges, the data also highlights areas of potential strength, such as the Algebra I EOC performance at Dimmitt Middle School, that could be built upon to drive district-wide improvements.
