Summary:
The city of Lancaster, Texas is home to 12 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 1 high school. These schools serve a diverse student population, with a majority African American enrollment. While academic performance varies across the district, a few standout schools emerge, including Belt Line Elementary and Rosa Parks/Millbrook Elementary, which consistently outperform the district and state averages on reading and math assessments.
Lancaster Middle School also stands out for its exceptional performance on the Algebra I end-of-course exam, with 71.23% of students scoring proficient or better, far exceeding the district and state averages. However, not all schools in the district are performing at the same level, with some, like Iltexas Lancaster Elementary and Iltexas Lancaster Middle, struggling to meet state standards.
The data also reveals a correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, with schools serving higher percentages of economically disadvantaged students, such as Pleasant Run Elementary and Rolling Hills Elementary, tending to have lower test scores. This highlights the need for targeted interventions and equitable resource allocation to ensure all students in the Lancaster Independent School District (Isd) have access to a high-quality education.
