Wortham Independent School District (Isd)

Summary:

The Wortham Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates three schools: Wortham Elementary, Wortham High School, and Wortham Middle. The district serves a diverse student population, with high rates of economic disadvantage across all three schools.

Among the three schools, Wortham High School stands out as the top performer, ranking 879 out of 1,974 Texas high schools for the 2024-2025 school year. The school boasts a strong 97.6% four-year graduation rate and a low 0.7% dropout rate, indicating effective support for students. Additionally, Wortham High School outperforms the district and state averages on several STAAR end-of-course exams, including Biology, English I Reading, and English II Reading.

The elementary school also performs well in 4th-grade reading, with 57.58% of students proficient or better, exceeding the district and state averages. However, the district as a whole faces challenges in academic achievement, particularly in subjects like science and social studies, where proficiency rates lag behind state benchmarks.
