Summary:
The Henderson Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district serves a population with significant economic disadvantages, as evidenced by the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 67.55% at Henderson High School to 79.36% at Monnie Meyer Wylie Pri.
While Henderson High School performs relatively well, with a 95.7% 4-year graduation rate and better-than-average performance on some STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams, the middle and elementary schools in the district generally struggle, with low statewide rankings and test scores. Henderson Middle School stands out for its strong performance on the Algebra I EOC exam, but its overall statewide ranking is still low.
The district as a whole faces significant challenges, with proficiency rates on STAAR assessments often 10-20 percentage points lower than the state average. The district's overall statewide ranking is 759 out of 961 districts in Texas, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Addressing these academic challenges, particularly for the district's economically disadvantaged student population, will be crucial for improving outcomes across the Henderson Independent School District (ISD).
