Summary:
The city of Decatur, Texas is home to 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Decatur Independent School District (Isd). The schools in Decatur serve student populations with varying socioeconomic backgrounds, as evidenced by the wide range in free/reduced lunch rates across the district.
Young Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, with strong test scores and a relatively low free/reduced lunch rate. In contrast, Rann Elementary and Carson Elementary lag behind the district and state averages in many subjects, presenting opportunities for the district to implement targeted interventions. The Stem Academy at Enis Elementary stands out with its STEM-focused curriculum, attracting a more affluent and academically-inclined student population.
At the high school level, Decatur High School has a strong 93.1% four-year graduation rate and a relatively low 1.3% dropout rate, but its academic performance is more mixed, with some subject areas exceeding state averages and others lagging behind. This suggests a need to focus on improving academic outcomes at the high school level within the district.
