High Schools in Mineral Wells Independent School District (Isd)

The Mineral Wells Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to two high schools: Mineral Wells High School and Mineral Wells Academy. While both schools serve high school students, they exhibit stark differences in their performance and student demographics.

Mineral Wells High School, the larger of the two with 931 students, is ranked in the bottom 30% of Texas high schools, with proficiency rates below 50% on STAAR tests. However, the school maintains a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 94.6% and a low dropout rate of 0.4%. In contrast, Mineral Wells Academy, with only 20 students, is ranked in the bottom 1% of Texas high schools and significantly underperforms on STAAR tests, with proficiency rates of 0% in many subject areas.

Both high schools serve a high-need student population, with over 70% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests the schools may face challenges in terms of resource allocation and supporting students from low-income backgrounds. While the student-teacher ratios are relatively small, with 14.9 students per teacher at Mineral Wells High School and 12.3 students per teacher at Mineral Wells Academy, the schools' overall academic performance indicates a need for targeted interventions and support systems to improve educational outcomes for all students in the Mineral Wells ISD.
