Summary:
Zapata County Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to a single high school, Zapata High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has consistently struggled to perform well, ranking in the bottom 1% of Texas high schools for the past three years. Despite a slightly above-average graduation rate and lower-than-average dropout rate, Zapata High School's academic performance, as measured by STAAR end-of-course exam scores, is significantly below the state average across all subject areas.
Zapata High School faces significant challenges, with 87.92% of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's spending per student, at $10,247, is slightly higher than the state average, but this has not translated into improved academic outcomes. The school's student-teacher ratio of 14.9 to 1 is slightly lower than the state average, but this has not been enough to overcome the persistent academic struggles observed at the school.
Overall, the data paints a concerning picture of Zapata County Independent School District's high school, with consistently low statewide rankings, significant gaps in academic achievement, and high levels of economic disadvantage among the student population. Addressing these challenges will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to identify and implement effective interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes at Zapata High School.
