Summary:
The Fort Bend Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to 13 high schools that vary in size, performance, and student demographics. While the district boasts several standout schools, there are also areas for improvement across the high school landscape.
Clements High School and Ridge Point High School are the top-performing schools in the district, consistently ranking among the best in Texas and earning high ratings. These schools excel in academic metrics like test scores, with over 80% proficiency in key subjects. In contrast, schools like Hightower High School, Willowridge High School, and Thurgood Marshall High School have lower rankings and test scores, indicating areas for improvement.
Across the district, the high schools maintain impressive graduation rates, ranging from 91.9% to 91.9%, and low dropout rates. However, there is a significant variation in spending per student, from $8,410 at Ridge Point High School to $13,230 at Willowridge High School. This raises questions about the efficient allocation of resources and its impact on student outcomes. The data provides an opportunity for the Fort Bend ISD to identify and share best practices from the top-performing schools to help improve outcomes at the lower-performing schools.
