Reagan County Independent School District (Isd)

The Reagan County Independent School District (Isd) in Texas operates three schools: one elementary school, one middle school, and one high school. The district serves a community with a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, as evidenced by the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch across all three schools.

Reagan County High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 93.0% and a low dropout rate of 0.6% for the 2022-2023 school year. However, the school's performance on STAAR end-of-course exams is mixed, with some subjects scoring below the state average while others are closer to the state average. In contrast, Reagan County Middle School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, going from 771 out of 2,330 Texas middle schools in 2022-2023 to 1,729 out of 2,344 in 2024-2025. The middle school's STAAR performance is generally below the state average, with the exception of 8th-grade reading and Algebra I end-of-course exam, where the school's performance is strong.

The district's spending per student is above the state average, ranging from $15,372 at the elementary school to $21,231 at the high school. The student-teacher ratios are also relatively low, suggesting a focus on smaller class sizes. However, the academic performance data suggests that these resources may not be translating into consistently strong student outcomes, and the district may need to evaluate the effectiveness of its resource allocation and instructional practices.
