Summary:
The city of La Pryor, Texas is home to two schools: La Pryor Elementary and La Pryor High School, both part of the La Pryor Independent School District (Isd). These schools serve a predominantly Hispanic student population, with over 90% Hispanic enrollment at both campuses, significantly higher than the state average.
Academically, the schools face some challenges, with overall STAAR test scores below the state average in many areas. However, La Pryor High School stands out with strong performance on certain STAAR EOC exams, including Algebra I, Biology, and U.S. History. Additionally, the high school boasts a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 90% and a low dropout rate of 1.8%, positive indicators for student success.
Both schools allocate significant resources to their students, with small student-teacher ratios and high per-student spending. However, the extremely high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, over 85% at both campuses, suggest that the student population faces significant socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting academic performance. Addressing these underlying factors could be key to improving outcomes for the students of La Pryor.
