Summary:
The Overton Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates two schools: Overton High School and Overton Elementary. Both schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with high free/reduced lunch rates of over 65%.
Academically, neither Overton High School nor Overton Elementary stand out as top performers. Both schools rank below the state average on STAAR test scores, with Overton High School ranked 1211 out of 1974 Texas high schools and Overton Elementary ranked 2372 out of 4651 Texas elementary schools. However, Overton High School does have a commendable 100% four-year graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate.
In terms of resources, Overton High School spends $14,693 per student and has a student-teacher ratio of 9.9, while Overton Elementary spends $12,151 per student and has a higher student-teacher ratio of 14.7. Despite the higher spending and lower student-teacher ratio at the high school level, the academic performance of both schools remains consistently low compared to state averages, suggesting that the district may need to address systemic challenges in curriculum, instructional practices, and targeted interventions to improve educational outcomes for its students.
