Victoria Independent School District (Isd)

The Victoria Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates 26 schools, including 16 elementary schools, 5 middle schools, and 5 high schools, serving students from early childhood through 12th grade. The district as a whole is ranked 790 out of 968 in Texas and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges in providing quality education across the district.

Within the district, a few standout schools emerge. Vickers Elementary and Mission Valley Elementary are the highest-performing elementary schools, ranking in the top 20% of Texas elementary schools and earning 4 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. These schools boast strong test scores, with over 50% of students proficient or better in reading and math. In contrast, the district's middle schools show more varied performance, with Harold Cade Middle ranking in the top half of Texas middle schools, while Patti Welder Middle struggles with only 13% of 8th graders proficient in math.

The data reveals significant disparities in academic achievement across the district, with a clear correlation between socioeconomic status and school performance. Schools with high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, such as Dudley Elementary and Hopkins Elementary, tend to have the lowest test scores, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support to ensure equitable access to quality education for all students in the Victoria ISD.
