Summary:
The city of Plainview, Texas is home to 6 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 3 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The schools in this district face significant challenges, with student populations that are predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged, leading to achievement gaps compared to state averages.
While the elementary and middle schools in the Plainview Independent School District (Isd) generally struggle, with proficiency rates well below the state on STAAR exams, Plainview High School stands out as a bright spot. The high school has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 91.9% and a low dropout rate of 1.3%, and it outperforms the district and state on several STAAR EOC exams, particularly in U.S. History.
In contrast, Plainview J H middle school demonstrates a mixed performance, excelling in Algebra I but lagging in other subject areas. The elementary schools, including North Elementary, Central Elementary, and South Elementary, struggle the most, with only 23-40% of students meeting proficiency in reading and math. Addressing the high rates of economic disadvantage and implementing targeted interventions may be crucial next steps for the district to support student success across all its schools.
