Summary:
The city of San Isidro, Texas is home to two schools: San Isidro Elementary and San Isidro High School, both part of the San Isidro Independent School District (Isd). These schools serve a predominantly Hispanic student population, with San Isidro Elementary having an exceptionally high 97.17% Hispanic enrollment. Despite the challenges of a high-poverty student body, both schools have impressive metrics, including a 100% four-year graduation rate at San Isidro High School and very low dropout rates of 0.0% at both campuses.
Academically, the schools show mixed performance. San Isidro Elementary's reading and math proficiency on state assessments is generally lower than the state averages, with some bright spots in 8th grade reading and Algebra I. At San Isidro High School, STAAR EOC results are varied, with strong performance in English I/II reading but lower scores in Algebra I and U.S. History. The high poverty levels, as evidenced by over 96% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch at both schools, likely contribute to the academic challenges, though the relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratios suggest an effort to provide additional support.
Overall, the schools in San Isidro demonstrate both promising and concerning trends. The impressive graduation and low dropout rates at San Isidro High School are commendable, but the academic performance data suggests room for improvement, particularly in mathematics and certain subject areas. Further investigation into the factors driving these trends, as well as comparisons to similar schools or districts, could provide valuable insights to guide the schools' efforts to support student success and address the unique needs of their high-poverty, predominantly Hispanic student population.
