The city of Big Lake, Texas is home to three public schools serving grades K-12: Reagan County Elementary, Reagan County High School, and Reagan County Middle, all part of the Reagan County Independent School District (Isd). While the district faces some academic challenges, particularly in math and science, the data reveals standout schools and pockets of success that could be leveraged to improve outcomes across the system.

Reagan County Middle School emerges as the highest-performing school in the district, ranking 3 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger and boasting relatively strong test scores and a low student-teacher ratio. In contrast, Reagan County Elementary and Reagan County High School lag behind state averages in many academic areas, particularly in math and science. However, the high school stands out with a high 4-year graduation rate of 93% and a low dropout rate of 0.8%.

Across the district, the data reveals significant achievement gaps, with the schools' performance trailing state averages. Additionally, the student population is heavily skewed towards Hispanic students, with minimal representation of other racial and ethnic groups. While the district invests heavily in resources, with high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratios, the academic outcomes do not seem to reflect this investment. By identifying and replicating the successful practices at Reagan County Middle School, and addressing the underlying factors contributing to the achievement gaps and demographic imbalances, the Reagan County Independent School District (Isd) can work towards providing a more equitable and high-quality education for all students in Big Lake, Texas.
