Summary

Ira School in Ira, TX, is a small, rural public school within the Ira Independent School District (Isd) that serves 284 students from Pre-K through 12th grade and has achieved a perfect 100% graduation rate for five consecutive years.

This school stands out for its exceptional performance in English Language Arts, consistently outperforming nearby schools like Hermleigh School and Westbrook School in reading and English EOC exams. For example, in 4th grade reading, 86.67% of Ira students were proficient compared to just 22.22% at Hermleigh and 50% at Westbrook. The school also excels in high school science, with 82.61% of students proficient in Biology EOC, well above the state average. With a low student-to-teacher ratio of 11.7:1 and a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced lunch (23.59%), Ira provides a strong foundation for academic success.

However, the school faces challenges in specific areas. Middle school math proficiency drops significantly, with only 23.08% of 7th graders and 29.17% of 8th graders meeting standards in 2024-2025, a sharp decline from 84% proficiency in 6th grade math. Additionally, 8th-grade social studies has been a persistent weakness, with proficiency rates often below the state average. Interestingly, while Ira excels in English and science, Westbrook School has shown stronger math performance in upper grades, suggesting potential areas for collaboration or learning. Overall, Ira School is a high-performing rural school with a stellar record of graduating all students, but it could benefit from targeted improvements in middle school math and social studies instruction.
