Summary:
The Palacios Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates three schools: two elementary schools (Central Elementary and East Side Intermediate) and one junior/senior high school (Palacios Junior Senior High School). The district serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, which may contribute to the academic challenges faced by the schools.
Among the standout schools, East Side Intermediate has consistently ranked higher than the other schools in the district, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and stronger academic performance on STAAR tests in reading and math. In contrast, Palacios Junior Senior High School has a high 4-year graduation rate of 93.6% but mixed performance on STAAR EOC exams, with some subjects scoring above the state average and others below.
The district's overall academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally below the state averages, particularly in mathematics. This trend is evident across the schools, with Central Elementary showing significantly lower STAAR scores in reading and math compared to the state. The district's per-student spending and student-teacher ratios are within a reasonable range, suggesting that targeted interventions and resource allocation may be needed to address the academic challenges and close achievement gaps within the Palacios ISD.
