Summary:
The city of Lytle, Texas, is home to 5 schools serving students from elementary to high school, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. The schools in this area face significant challenges, with the Lytle Independent School District (ISD) ranked 863 out of 968 districts in Texas and rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating a relatively low-performing district overall.
Among the standout schools in Lytle, Lytle High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 93.1% and a lower dropout rate of 4.4% compared to the state average. Additionally, Lytle J H (Middle School) outperforms the district and state averages on STAAR Reading and Mathematics exams for 6th, 7th, and 8th grades, particularly in Algebra I, where 77.78% of students were proficient or better, compared to the district and state averages of 23.03% and 44.73%, respectively.
However, the schools in Lytle generally underperform the state averages on STAAR/STAAR EOC exams, with several subjects and grade levels having proficiency rates well below the state benchmarks, particularly in mathematics. Additionally, the high free and reduced lunch rates, ranging from 70% to 82.09%, coupled with the low academic performance, suggest potential equity issues within the Lytle school system, where economically disadvantaged students may not be receiving the necessary support and resources to succeed.
