Summary:
The city of Slaton, Texas is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, operated by the Slaton Independent School District (Isd). The district's schools display a mix of strengths and areas for improvement, with Slaton High School emerging as a standout performer.
Slaton High School boasts an impressive 98.0% 4-year graduation rate and a low 0.5% dropout rate, indicating the school is effectively supporting its students and helping them succeed. The high school also outperforms the district and state averages on several STAAR EOC exams, particularly in English I and English II Reading. In contrast, the district's middle school, Slaton J H, stands out for its 100% proficiency rate on the STAAR EOC Algebra I exam and strong performance on the STAAR Reading exam across grades 6-8.
However, the district as a whole faces challenges, with most schools performing below the state averages on STAAR/STAAR EOC exams, particularly in mathematics. Additionally, all the schools have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 69.61% to 76.08%, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students who may require targeted support. The district should investigate strategies to address these academic gaps and ensure an inclusive, equitable learning environment for all students.
