Summary:
The city of George West, Texas is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the George West Independent School District (Isd). These schools demonstrate strong academic performance, with several standout institutions that are worth highlighting.
The George West Pri elementary school stands out for its consistently high test scores, with 3rd-grade students performing significantly better than the state average in both reading and math on the STAAR assessments. This school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 17:1 may contribute to its academic success, despite serving a predominantly Hispanic (57.58%) and economically disadvantaged (67.93% free/reduced lunch) student population. At the middle school level, George West J H has been ranked among the top 19% of middle schools in Texas, with impressive reading proficiency rates and a low dropout rate.
Across the district, the schools in George West generally perform better than the state average on STAAR assessments, particularly in reading. They also have relatively low student-teacher ratios and higher-than-average spending per student, suggesting a strong investment in supporting student learning. However, the high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 57.5% to 67.93%, indicate that the district faces significant socioeconomic challenges in serving its diverse student population, which is predominantly Hispanic (57.58% to 60.13%).
