Summary:
The city of Comfort, Texas is home to 3 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Comfort Independent School District (Isd). While the schools share some common challenges, such as high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, there are notable differences in their academic performance and other key metrics.
Comfort High School stands out as the strongest performer, with a high 4-year graduation rate of 98.8% and low dropout rate of 0.3%. The school also outperforms the district and state on STAAR end-of-course exams, particularly in subjects like Biology, English I/II, and U.S. History. In contrast, Comfort Elementary and Comfort Middle School generally underperform the state averages on STAAR Reading, Math, and Science tests.
Comfort Middle School does show some promising results, with students outperforming the district and state on STAAR Reading tests and demonstrating strong performance on the 8th grade STAAR Science exam. The school also has a high percentage of students proficient in Algebra I, significantly higher than the district and state averages. However, the high free/reduced lunch rates, especially at Comfort Elementary, suggest that socioeconomic challenges may be impacting student performance across the district, and further interventions may be needed to address these disparities.
