Summary:
The Weslaco Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates 22 schools, including 11 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, 6 high schools, and 1 alternative school, serving a predominantly Hispanic student population.
The district has several standout schools, such as Memorial Elementary, which ranks among the top 581 elementary schools in Texas and consistently outperforms the district and state averages in reading, math, and science. Another high-performing school is Raul A. Gonzalez Junior Elementary, which ranks in the top 753 elementary schools in Texas and excels in reading and math. At the high school level, Weslaco 21st Century CTE Early College High School stands out, ranking 517 out of 1,961 high schools in Texas and boasting a 100% four-year graduation rate.
However, the data also reveals a wide range of performance among the district's schools, with some struggling to meet state standards, particularly in areas with higher percentages of economically disadvantaged students. The district's commitment to serving all learners is evident in its alternative schools, such as Hidalgo County Boot Camp, which provide specialized services and support. By identifying and replicating the practices of the standout schools, the district can work to ensure that all students have access to a high-quality education.
