Summary:
The city of Santa Fe, Texas is home to 5 schools serving students from elementary through high school, operated by the Santa Fe Independent School District (Isd). The data reveals a mix of standout and underperforming schools, with William F Barnett Elementary consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in the state and Santa Fe High School maintaining a high graduation rate, while the middle school, Santa Fe J H, lags behind in mathematics performance.
Across the district, test scores vary, with the elementary schools generally outperforming the district and state averages in reading and mathematics, particularly at William F Barnett Elementary. However, Santa Fe J H struggles in mathematics compared to its peers. At the high school level, Santa Fe High School stands out with strong performance in English and U.S. History EOC exams, but lower scores in Algebra I. Socioeconomic disparities are evident, as the schools have relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 47.41% at the high school to over 60% at some elementary schools.
Despite these challenges, the Santa Fe Independent School District as a whole is ranked 263 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, suggesting the district is performing reasonably well. However, the data highlights areas for potential improvement, particularly in addressing the performance gaps at the middle school level and ensuring equitable access to resources and opportunities for all students across the district.
