Summary:
The city of Dilley, Texas is home to 3 schools serving students from elementary through high school: Dilley Elementary, Dilley High School, and Mary Harper Middle. These schools are part of the Dilley Independent School District (Isd), which is ranked 931 out of 968 districts in Texas and rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges in providing quality education to its students.
Dilley High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 95.7%, exceeding the state average. In contrast, Dilley Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 3,394 out of 4,581 Texas elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 4,370 out of 4,647 in 2022-2023. Mary Harper Middle boasts a low student-teacher ratio of 9.1, significantly better than the other schools in the district.
Across the district, the schools have a very high Hispanic student population, ranging from 92.68% at Dilley Elementary to 95.24% at Mary Harper Middle. Proficiency rates on the STAAR exams are significantly below the state averages, and all three schools have very high percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 77.14% at Dilley High School to 84.92% at Dilley Elementary. These challenges suggest the district needs to focus on improving academic outcomes and providing equitable resources to support its economically disadvantaged student population.
