Summary:
The Edcouch-Elsa Independent School District (Isd) in Texas operates two middle schools: Carlos Truan J H and David Ybarra Fine Arts Academy. Both schools serve economically disadvantaged student populations, with over 90% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Carlos Truan J H has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Texas middle schools over the past 3 years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance is significantly below the state average, with only 30.82% of 7th graders proficient or better in reading, compared to the state average of 51.69%. Additionally, the school has a relatively high dropout rate of 3.1%.
While David Ybarra Fine Arts Academy also performs below the state average on standardized tests, its performance is not as dire as Carlos Truan J H. The school spends less per student ($10,269 vs. $11,616) and has a higher student-teacher ratio (13.8 vs. 12.4), which may contribute to the differences in academic outcomes between the two schools.
