Summary:
The Santa Rosa Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one high school, Santa Rosa High School, which serves a predominantly Hispanic student population. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student compared to state averages, its academic performance lags behind on standardized tests, with only 18% of students proficient in Algebra I compared to the state average of 45%.
Santa Rosa High School has a student population of 289, with an overwhelming 98.62% Hispanic and 1.38% White racial makeup. The school's four-year graduation rate of 87.1% is slightly below the state average, but its dropout rate of 1.3% is relatively low. However, the school's performance on the STAAR End-of-Course exams is significantly behind the state average across all subjects tested, indicating that students are struggling academically.
The high percentage of students (86.51%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch suggests that Santa Rosa High School serves a population with significant economic challenges. While the school's higher spending per student ($16,057) and lower student-teacher ratio (9.6 to 1) compared to state averages may indicate access to more resources, these resources do not appear to be effectively translating into improved student outcomes. The lack of racial diversity and the school's academic performance challenges highlight the need for targeted interventions and support to address the specific needs of the student population.
