Summary:
The Longview Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to three high schools: Longview High School, Lead Academy High School, and Juvenile Detent Center. These schools serve students in grades 9-12 and provide a range of educational opportunities within the Longview community.
Among the three high schools, Longview High School stands out as the top performer, with the largest student enrollment, higher proficiency rates on STAAR end-of-course exams, and stronger graduation and dropout rates compared to the other schools. In contrast, Lead Academy High School lags behind Longview High School and the district/state averages on most performance metrics, while Juvenile Detent Center has the lowest proficiency rates, particularly in 8th grade Reading, Science, and Social Studies, as well as English I Reading.
The data also reveals differences in socioeconomic factors, spending, and student-teacher ratios across the three schools. Longview High School and Lead Academy High School both serve a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, while Juvenile Detent Center has a lower rate. These variations in resources and student populations may contribute to the observed differences in academic performance across the schools within the Longview ISD.
