Summary:
The Texas City Independent School District (ISD) operates 14 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, 3 high schools, and 1 alternative school, serving students in the Texas City area. The district's performance is generally lower than state averages, but a few standout schools, such as Heights Elementary and Blocker Middle, demonstrate significantly higher proficiency rates in reading and math.
While the district's overall graduation rate is 80.3% and dropout rate is 3.8%, the alternative schools, Woodrow Wilson DAEP and Coastal Alternative Program (CAP), face unique challenges, with high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch and low student-teacher ratios. The district's per-student spending ranges from $10,868 to $17,623, with the alternative schools spending the most per student.
The data highlights the need for the Texas City ISD to address the persistent underperformance of its schools, particularly in the areas of student achievement and equity. The standout schools, such as Heights Elementary and Blocker Middle, provide a model for success that could be leveraged to improve outcomes across the district, while the challenges faced by the alternative schools warrant further investigation and targeted support.
