Eagle Pass Independent School District (Isd)

The Eagle Pass Independent School District (Isd) in Texas oversees 24 schools, including 19 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 3 high schools, serving a diverse student population across a wide range of socioeconomic backgrounds.

Performance across the district varies significantly. Armando Cerna Elementary and Liberty Elementary are standout high achievers, consistently earning 4-star ratings with test scores far above district and state averages, despite having moderate poverty rates. In contrast, Sam Houston Elementary and Juan N Seguin Elementary face significant challenges, with 0-star and 1-star ratings respectively and critically low proficiency rates, correlating with very high poverty levels. At the high school level, Eagle Pass High School is a strong performer with a 96.2% graduation rate and improving state rankings, while C C Winn High School struggles with an 88.8% graduation rate and lower test scores. Mathematics is a district-wide weakness, with middle school 7th-grade math proficiency rates as low as 6.79% at Memorial J H.

Key takeaways for parents include that per-student spending does not directly predict success—Benavides Heights Elementary spends more but ranks lower than Armando Cerna Elementary, which spends less and performs better. The Daep alternative school serves a unique, high-need population with a 0% dropout rate. Overall, the district ranks in the 52nd percentile statewide, but individual school outcomes vary widely, making it essential for parents to research specific campuses.
