Public Grades

Summary

Psja Sonia M Sotomayor High School is a small public high school serving grades 9-12 in Pharr, Texas, part of the Pharr-San Juan-Alamo Independent School District (PSJA ISD). Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending, it faces significant challenges, including low statewide rankings, poor performance on standardized tests, high dropout rates, and low graduation rates.

Compared to nearby schools in the PSJA ISD, such as Psja Southwest Early College High School, Psja Memorial Early College High School, and Psja Early College High School, Psja Sonia M Sotomayor High School consistently performs worse on standardized tests, has higher dropout rates, and lower graduation rates. This suggests that the school may require targeted interventions and additional resources to improve student outcomes and provide a more equitable educational experience for its 100% Hispanic student population, all of whom are economically disadvantaged.

With only 47 students, Psja Sonia M Sotomayor High School is the smallest high school in the PSJA ISD, which may contribute to the challenges the school faces in terms of resources, staffing, and providing a comprehensive educational experience. The school's high per-student spending of $28,648 in 2020-2021 indicates that additional resources are being allocated, but with limited impact on student performance, highlighting the need for a more comprehensive and coordinated approach to addressing the unique needs of this school and its student population.
