Summary:
The Fabens, Texas school district consists of 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, with a predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged student population. While one school, Johanna Odonnell Intermediate, performs better than the others, the district as a whole struggles with low academic achievement, high dropout rates, and resource challenges.
The standout school in the district is Johanna Odonnell Intermediate, which ranks in the middle 50% of Texas elementary schools and has stronger test scores and a lower percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients compared to the other Fabens schools. In contrast, Fabens High School performs poorly, ranking in the bottom 25% of Texas high schools, with low test scores, a high dropout rate, and an extremely high percentage of Hispanic students and free/reduced lunch recipients.
Across the Fabens Independent School District (Isd), students consistently score well below the state average on STAAR tests, and the district faces challenges with high student-teacher ratios and limited resources. Addressing these academic, demographic, and resource challenges will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve educational outcomes for the Fabens community.
