Summary

Itasca High School in Itasca, TX, is a small rural school serving 210 students in grades 9-12, where about two-thirds of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and it is part of the Itasca Independent School District (Isd).

While the school offers a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 9:1 and spends a relatively high amount per student ($15,471), its academic outcomes are among the lowest in the area. The most critical weakness is in Algebra I, where only about 17% of students are proficient—far below the state average and the lowest rate among nearby schools. For comparison, Grandview High School, just 7 miles away, has proficiency rates that are often double or triple those of Itasca. The school’s graduation rate of 88.7% is also the lowest among its peers, with schools like Alvarado High School and Hillsboro High School achieving rates above 97%.

Despite these challenges, there are some bright spots. Itasca shows relative strength in Biology and English II, with English II proficiency (55.77%) coming close to the state average. This suggests that effective instruction exists in some subjects and could be replicated in others. However, the school’s performance for its low-income students has been steadily declining, which is a major concern given that they make up the majority of the student body. Overall, Itasca is a school with a supportive environment and small classes, but it struggles to translate those advantages into strong academic results, especially in math.
