Gorman Independent School District (Isd)

Summary:

The Gorman Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates three schools: Maxfield Elementary, Gorman High School, and Gorman Middle. The district serves a relatively low-income student population, with high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch across all three schools.

Gorman High School stands out as a strong performer, with a high 4-year graduation rate of 96.8% and a very low dropout rate of 0.0% in 2022-2023. The school also excels in U.S. History, scoring 70.59% proficient or better on the STAAR EOC exam in 2024-2025, outpacing the Texas state average of 67.94%. Gorman Middle also impresses, with exceptional reading proficiency rates in 6th grade, where 81.25% of students scored proficient or better on the STAAR Reading test in 2024-2025, significantly higher than the state average of 54.21%.

However, the district as a whole faces academic challenges, with most schools underperforming the state averages on STAAR/STAAR EOC exams, particularly in mathematics. For example, in 2024-2025, only 15.38% of 3rd graders at Maxfield Elementary were proficient or better in STAAR Mathematics, compared to the state average of 44.88%. Similarly, Gorman High School struggled with STAAR EOC Algebra I, with only 5.88% of students scoring proficient or better in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 47.01%.
