Darrouzett Schools

Darrouzett Schools is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in the Darrouzett Independent School District (ISD) in Darrouzett, Texas, with 104 students and a student-teacher ratio of 6:1 for the 2023-2024 school year.

Darrouzett Schools has maintained an exceptional 100% four-year graduation rate for the past several years, significantly higher than the state average, and very low dropout rates ranging from 0% to 3% over the past few years. However, the school's test scores on the STAAR assessments are generally lower than the state averages, particularly in reading, math, and social studies, though it performs better in subjects like Algebra I, Biology, and English I Reading. With a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 62.67% to 73.08% over the past few years, Darrouzett Schools serves a population with significant economic challenges. The school spends between $14,500 and $15,600 per student, higher than the spending at the nearby Follett School.

These findings suggest that Darrouzett Schools is effectively supporting its students and helping them complete their education, despite the economic challenges faced by the student population. The school's targeted strengths in certain subject areas and its higher spending per student compared to the nearby Follett School may be contributing to its strong graduation and dropout rates. However, the lower test scores in some areas indicate a need for continued focus on improving academic outcomes, particularly in reading, math, and social studies.
