Summary:
The city of Meridian, Texas is home to two schools - Meridian High School and Meridian Elementary, both part of the Meridian Independent School District (Isd). While the high school boasts an impressive 100% four-year graduation rate, the academic performance at both schools, as measured by state standardized test scores, is well below the Texas state average, with many subject areas showing proficiency rates under 50%.
Meridian Elementary stands out for its high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 77.06%, indicating a significant level of economic need in the student population. This could be a contributing factor to the academic challenges faced by the school. Both schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, which is generally considered a positive factor for student learning, but the academic outcomes do not seem to reflect this advantage.
Despite the academic struggles, the per-student spending at both Meridian High School and Meridian Elementary is higher than the state average, raising questions about the efficient use of resources and the factors contributing to the low performance. Overall, the data suggests that the schools in Meridian, Texas are facing significant challenges in supporting student academic achievement, and further analysis would be needed to develop targeted strategies for improvement.
