Summary:
The city of Port Isabel, 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 schools in this district face significant socioeconomic challenges, with high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 82.51% to 95.49% across the schools.
While the schools generally perform below state averages on standardized tests, Derry Elementary stands out with stronger academic performance, particularly in reading and math. The school has also seen its 3-year SchoolDigger ranking improve from 2 stars to 3 stars, indicating progress over time. In contrast, Port Isabel Early College High School has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 89.0%, but its test scores, especially in Algebra I, are significantly lower than the district and state averages.
Across the Point Isabel Independent School District (Isd), the student population is predominantly Hispanic, ranging from 89.11% to 91.7% Hispanic students. The district's spending per student is in line with the state average, and the student-teacher ratios are relatively low, suggesting that the challenges faced by these schools may be more related to the socioeconomic factors of the student population than to resource constraints.
