Summary:
The city of Natalia, Texas, is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals a school district that is generally underperforming compared to state averages, with the exception of Natalia High School, which stands out with its relatively high graduation rate and better performance on some state exams.
Across the Natalia Independent School District (Isd), the schools face significant socioeconomic challenges, with 70% to 78% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This likely contributes to the low academic performance observed, with most schools in the district receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, Natalia High School stands out with its 95.5% 4-year graduation rate and low 0.8% dropout rate, suggesting that the high school may be employing effective strategies that could be replicated at the lower grade levels.
While the overall performance of the district is concerning, the data also highlights a potential bright spot in Natalia High School, which outperforms the district and state averages on some key metrics. Further investigation into the practices and strategies used at the high school could provide valuable insights for improving academic outcomes across the entire Natalia Independent School District (Isd).
