Summary:
The Rio Hondo Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one high school, Rio Hondo High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school faces academic performance challenges, with consistently low statewide rankings and below-average test scores, particularly in core subjects like Algebra I, Biology, and U.S. History.
Despite the school's relatively high four-year graduation rate of 94.2% and low dropout rate of 1.4%, the data suggests that Rio Hondo High School is struggling to translate its resources into improved student outcomes. The school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 78.3% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and the district spends $12,804 per student, which is higher than the state average.
While the school's small class size, with a student-teacher ratio of 10.2, is a positive factor, the academic performance data indicates that the school and district may need to explore more effective strategies and interventions to address the specific challenges faced by the low-income student population and improve overall student learning and achievement.
