Summary:
The Edinburg Consolidated Independent School District in Texas is home to 5 high schools serving grades 9-12: Economedes High School, Edinburg North High School, Edinburg High School, Robert R Vela High School, and Juvenile Detention Center.
Based on the data, Robert R Vela High School stands out as the top-performing high school in the district, with the highest statewide ranking and the strongest academic achievement across multiple subjects on state assessments. In contrast, Juvenile Detention Center lags significantly behind, with the lowest statewide ranking and very low proficiency rates on state tests. The other district high schools, Economedes High School, Edinburg North High School, and Edinburg High School, generally perform at or slightly below state averages on academic measures.
The data reveals significant performance gaps within the district, with Economedes High School struggling the most despite having a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students. The Juvenile Detention Center also faces unique challenges, with its abysmal academic performance despite high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratios. Overall, the district has opportunities for improvement, and examining best practices from the higher-performing Vela High School could help raise academic achievement and close performance gaps across the district.
