Yoakum Independent School District (Isd)

Summary:

The Yoakum Independent School District (Isd) in Texas operates 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools (Yoakum Intermediate, Yoakum Annex, and Yoakum Pri), 1 middle school (Yoakum J H), and 1 high school (Yoakum High School).

Yoakum High School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, with consistently high graduation rates, low dropout rates, and strong performance on STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams. In contrast, the elementary and middle schools in the district appear to struggle more with academic performance, with several grades performing below the state average on STAAR assessments. This suggests a need for targeted interventions and support at the earlier grade levels to help improve student outcomes.

Across the district, there are high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 67.56% at Yoakum High School to 80.18% at Yoakum Annex. This indicates a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which may have implications for the resources and support needed to address the unique needs of these students and their families.
