Summary:
The city of Refugio, Texas is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Refugio Elementary, Refugio High School, and Refugio J H (middle school). These schools, part of the Refugio Independent School District (Isd), serve a predominantly Hispanic student population and face socioeconomic challenges, with high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Among the standout schools, Refugio High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 93.5% and a low dropout rate of 0.9%. The school also demonstrates strong performance on some STAAR EOC exams, such as Biology and U.S. History. In contrast, Refugio J H (Middle School) impresses with a 100% proficiency rate on the Algebra I STAAR EOC exam and relatively high reading proficiency rates for 7th and 8th-grade students.
However, the data also reveals significant gaps in academic performance, particularly in math and reading, between the Refugio schools and the state averages. This suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes. Additionally, the high rates of free/reduced-price lunch eligibility across all three schools indicate that the Refugio community faces significant socioeconomic challenges, which may impact student learning and achievement. Continued monitoring and data-driven decision-making will be crucial in driving improvements and ensuring equitable educational opportunities for all students in the Refugio area.
