Northwest Independent School District (Isd)

The Northwest Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates 31 schools, including 20 elementary schools, 6 middle schools, and 5 high schools, serving students from pre-K through 12th grade. The district as a whole is ranked 236 out of 968 school districts in Texas and is rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Several standout schools emerge from the data, including Medlin Middle, which is ranked 127 out of 2,330 Texas middle schools and has a 5-star rating, as well as Samuel Beck Elementary and Lakeview Elementary, both of which are ranked in the top 150 elementary schools in Texas and have 5-star ratings. The district's high schools also perform well, with James M. Steele Early College High School ranking 35 out of 1,961 Texas high schools and boasting a 98.2% four-year graduation rate.

However, the data also reveals significant variation in school performance within the district, with some schools struggling to achieve high STAAR test scores and low dropout rates. There appears to be a correlation between a school's socioeconomic status, as measured by the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, and its academic performance. The district may need to address these equity concerns to ensure that all students have access to a high-quality education, regardless of their background.
