High Schools in Galveston Independent School District (Isd)


Summary:

The Galveston Independent School District (Isd) in Texas is home to two high schools: Ball High School and Aim College & Career Prep. While both schools serve high school students, they differ in size, student demographics, academic performance, and resource allocation.

Ball High School is the larger of the two, with 1,934 students, while Aim College & Career Prep has only 89 students. Aim College & Career Prep has a higher percentage of minority students, with 33.71% African American and 35.96% Hispanic, compared to Ball High School's 21.92% African American and 46.33% Hispanic. Additionally, Aim College & Career Prep has a higher four-year graduation rate of 83.3%, while Ball High School has a 90.5% graduation rate.

In terms of academic performance, Ball High School generally has lower STAAR EOC proficiency rates compared to state averages, with the exception of English II Reading. Aim College & Career Prep, on the other hand, has mixed results, with some subjects performing better than the district and state averages, such as Algebra I, English I Reading, and U.S. History. The significant difference in spending per student between the two schools, with Aim College & Career Prep spending nearly $8,500 more per student, raises questions about the allocation of resources and the impact on student outcomes.
