Summary:
Palacios Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to a single high school, Palacios Junior Senior High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance and characteristics provide a mixed picture, with some areas of strength and others in need of improvement.
Palacios Junior Senior High School has seen its statewide ranking fluctuate in recent years, ranging from 908 out of 1,961 Texas high schools in 2022-2023 to 1,107 out of 1,987 in 2023-2024. The school's performance on STAAR tests is also mixed, with reading proficiency rates generally above the state average but below the Palacios ISD average, while mathematics proficiency rates are significantly below both the state and district averages. However, the school's four-year graduation rate of 93.6% and low dropout rate of 0.3% are positive indicators.
Demographically, Palacios Junior Senior High School serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 78% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's per-student spending for the 2020-2021 school year was $14,591, which is higher than the state average. These factors suggest the need for targeted interventions and additional support to address the unique challenges faced by the school's student population and improve academic outcomes, particularly in mathematics.
