Summary:
Kress Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to a single high school, Kress High School, which serves grades 9-12. Despite its small student population of 130, the school has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three school years, indicating a stable level of performance.
Kress High School has several areas of strength, including a strong 96.2% four-year graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate. The school's performance on STAAR tests is also impressive, with several subject areas exceeding the state average in proficiency rates, particularly in Reading (62.5% for 7th grade, 65% for 8th grade), Science (70% for 8th grade), and English II Reading (75% for End of Course). However, the school's performance in Algebra I (22.22% proficiency) and 8th grade Mathematics (45% proficiency) was below the state average, suggesting a need for targeted interventions and support in these weaker subject areas.
Kress High School faces some socioeconomic challenges, with a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 66.92% in the 2023-2024 school year. However, the school's low student-to-teacher ratio of 8.9 may help mitigate these challenges. Additionally, the school's relatively high per-student spending of $14,146 in the 2020-2021 school year could provide the resources needed to support student learning and address any areas of need.
