Texarkana Independent School District (Isd)

Summary:

The Texarkana Independent School District (Isd) in Texas operates 13 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 3 high schools, serving students from pre-K through 12th grade. The district's performance varies widely, with some standout schools like Martha & Josh Morriss Math & Engineering Elementary ranking among the top in the state, while others like Spring Lake Park Elementary and Westlawn Elementary struggle with very low test scores and high poverty levels.

The top-performing school in the district is Martha & Josh Morriss Math & Engineering Elementary, which has consistently ranked among the top 5 elementary schools in Texas and earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its students excel on STAAR tests, with 92-96% scoring proficient or better in reading and math. In contrast, several high-poverty, majority-minority schools like Spring Lake Park Elementary and Westlawn Elementary rank in the bottom 10-20% of Texas elementary schools and have proficiency rates below 50% in core subjects.

Overall, the Texarkana Isd as a whole is ranked 616 out of 968 school districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The data reveals significant inequities within the district, with certain schools providing a much higher quality education than others. Addressing these disparities should be a top priority for the district's leadership.
