Laredo Independent School District (Isd)

Summary:

The Laredo Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates a diverse network of 30 schools, including 20 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, and 6 high schools, serving students from prekindergarten through 12th grade.

Among the standout schools in the district are Ryan Elementary, which ranked 139th out of 4,651 Texas elementary schools in 2024-2025 and earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, and Heights Elementary, which ranked 71st in the state and also has a 5-star rating. These high-performing schools boast exceptional proficiency rates in reading and math, significantly outpacing the district and state averages. At the high school level, Hector J. Garcia Early College High School stands out, ranking 85th out of 1,974 Texas high schools and earning a 5-star rating with a 95.6% four-year graduation rate.

However, the data also reveals stark contrasts in academic performance across the district. While some schools, like Ryan Elementary and Hector J. Garcia Early College High School, demonstrate impressive results, others struggle to meet state standards, particularly those with high percentages of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. This highlights the need for targeted interventions and additional resources to support the district's most vulnerable schools and ensure that all students have access to a high-quality education.
