Summary:
The city of La Villa, Texas is home to three schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the La Villa Independent School District (Isd). While the district faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance across the schools and high levels of economic disadvantage among the student populations, one school, La Villa Early College High School, stands out with its relatively high graduation rate and low dropout rate.
The data reveals that all three schools - Jose Bernabe Munoz Elementary, La Villa Early College High School, and La Villa Middle - have a predominantly Hispanic student population, with very high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. While La Villa Middle School performs well on STAAR reading tests, the district as a whole struggles with low proficiency rates in math, science, and social studies compared to state averages.
Despite these challenges, La Villa Early College High School provides a potential bright spot, with its 96.0% four-year graduation rate and 1.5% dropout rate, both better than the state average. This suggests that the early college model may be providing valuable opportunities and support for students in the district. Overall, the data highlights the need for targeted interventions and additional resources to address the unique needs of the economically disadvantaged student population in La Villa and improve academic outcomes across the district.
