Summary:
The Schulenburg Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates two schools: Schulenburg Secondary, a high school, and Schulenburg Elementary. The district is ranked 762 out of 961 districts in Texas and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
Schulenburg Secondary stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 96.6% and a low dropout rate of 0.5% for the 2022-2023 school year. The high school also outperforms the district and state averages on STAAR End-of-Course exams, particularly in Biology and English II Reading. In contrast, Schulenburg Elementary struggles to meet state standards, with lower proficiency rates compared to the district and state in most grade levels and subjects, except for a stronger performance on 3rd grade STAAR Reading in 2023-2024.
Both schools face challenges, with the district's overall academic performance underperforming the state averages on STAAR assessments. Additionally, the high free/reduced lunch rates, over 50% at both schools, suggest a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which may require targeted support. While Schulenburg Secondary appears to be more effective in preparing students for end-of-course exams, addressing the performance gaps and supporting the needs of the economically disadvantaged student population should be key priorities for the Schulenburg ISD.
