Summary:
The Harlandale Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates 20 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 6 middle schools, and 5 high schools, serving students from diverse backgrounds. The district's performance varies, with some standout schools like the Harlandale Independent School District (ISD) STEM ECHS-Alamo Colleges at PAC, which ranks 246th out of 1,974 Texas high schools and is rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, and the Frank M Tejeda Academy, which ranks 229th out of 1,961 Texas high schools.
The district's overall four-year graduation rate is 88.5%, on par with the state average, and the dropout rate is 1.8%, also matching the state average. However, the district's performance on STAAR assessments is generally below the state average, with proficiency rates ranging from the low 30s to mid 40s across different subjects and grade levels. There is significant variation in performance between individual schools, with some, like the STEM ECHS, performing well above the district and state, while others, like Harlandale High School and McCollum High School, struggle to reach even 50% proficiency in many areas.
The district has a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 68.5% at the STEM ECHS to over 95% at some elementary schools. Spending per student also varies across the district, from a low of $8,735 at the STEM ECHS to a high of $230,607 at the small Hac Daep High School. These factors suggest the need for the district to closely examine resource allocation and implement targeted interventions to address the diverse needs of its student population and improve overall academic achievement.
