Summary:
The city of Detroit, Texas is home to 3 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Detroit Independent School District (ISD). While the district faces challenges in achieving consistent academic excellence, a few standout schools demonstrate stronger performance in certain areas.
Detroit High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 92.3% and a low dropout rate of 0.7%. The school also outperforms the district and state averages on several STAAR EOC exams, particularly in U.S. History. Meanwhile, Detroit J H outperforms the district and state in STAAR Mathematics for 6th and 7th grades and has a 0.0% dropout rate.
However, the schools in the Detroit ISD generally underperform the state averages on STAAR/STAAR EOC exams, with few exceptions. The district also serves a predominantly white student population and has high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, suggesting significant economic challenges. While funding may play a role, with the highest-spending school, Detroit High School, also demonstrating the strongest academic performance, the district faces a need for improvement in educational outcomes across its schools.
