Summary:
The Woodsboro Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates two schools: Woodsboro High School serving grades 6-12 and Woodsboro Elementary serving grades PK-5. The district as a whole is ranked 805 out of 961 school districts in Texas and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating significant academic challenges.
Neither Woodsboro High School nor Woodsboro Elementary stand out as high-performing schools. Both have seen their statewide rankings decline in recent years, and they have significantly lower proficiency rates on STAAR and STAAR EOC assessments compared to state averages. Woodsboro High School's four-year graduation rate is 91.3%, and it has a 0.0% dropout rate, but these metrics alone do not indicate strong academic achievement. The schools also serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with over 60% of students at the high school and over 70% at the elementary school qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the academic struggles, both Woodsboro High School and Woodsboro Elementary have relatively small student-teacher ratios, which could be an asset in providing more individualized attention and support for students. However, addressing the broader challenges facing the district will likely require a comprehensive approach that addresses both instructional and resource-related factors to improve student outcomes.
