Summary:
The Forsan Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates two schools: Forsan High School and Forsan Elementary. The district serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.
Forsan High School stands out as the stronger performer in the district, consistently ranking in the top 17% of Texas high schools with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts an impressive 94.3% four-year graduation rate and low 0.8% dropout rate, well above state averages. Forsan High School students also outperform their peers statewide on most STAAR tests, particularly in reading, biology, and English II. In contrast, Forsan Elementary has shown improvement in recent years but still has a 2-star rating, indicating room for growth, especially in mathematics.
The data suggests Forsan High School benefits from higher spending per student ($12,488) and a lower student-teacher ratio (12:1) compared to Forsan Elementary ($9,237 per student, 15.1:1 ratio). However, Forsan Elementary serves a higher percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with a 44.9% free/reduced lunch rate compared to 32.73% at the high school. Overall, the Forsan Independent School District appears to have a strong high school but opportunities to improve outcomes at the elementary level.
