Summary:
The city of Presidio, Texas is home to 3 schools serving grades K-12: Presidio Elementary, Presidio High School, and Lucy Rede Franco Middle. These schools operate within the Presidio Independent School District (Isd) and serve a predominantly Hispanic student population facing significant economic challenges.
Among the standout schools, Lucy Rede Franco Middle outperforms the district and state averages on several STAAR tests, including 7th grade reading and 8th grade math. The school also boasts a 100% proficiency rate on the Algebra I end-of-course exam, far exceeding the district and state. Meanwhile, Presidio High School achieves a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 89.7% and outperforms the district and state on STAAR end-of-course exams in Biology and U.S. History.
However, the data also reveals significant disparities, with Presidio Elementary struggling with low proficiency rates in STAAR reading, math, and science, often falling well below state averages. This suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes across the district, particularly given the extremely high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which indicate significant economic challenges in the Presidio community.
