Summary:
The city of Callisburg, Texas is home to two schools: Callisburg High School and Callisburg Middle School, both part of the Callisburg Independent School District (Isd). Based on the available data, Callisburg High School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, with a strong 98.5% four-year graduation rate and outperforming state and district averages on several STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams.
In contrast, Callisburg Middle School appears to be performing closer to the state and district averages on STAAR assessments, with some mixed results. The school's performance on 8th grade Social Studies (11.22% proficient) is particularly low compared to the state average of 30.55%. Additionally, Callisburg Middle School has a higher free and reduced lunch rate of 42.97% compared to Callisburg High School's 36.9%, suggesting the middle school may serve a more economically disadvantaged student population.
The data also reveals differences in resource allocation, with Callisburg High School spending $12,825 per student, while Callisburg Middle School spends $9,927 per student. The high school also has a lower student-teacher ratio of 11.5, compared to the middle school's 13.4, which may contribute to the high school's stronger academic performance. Overall, the insights suggest that Callisburg High School is the standout performer in the district, but the district may need to explore ways to address the performance gaps at the middle school level and ensure equitable resource allocation across all grade levels.
