Summary:
The city of Spurger, Texas is home to two schools - Spurger Elementary and Spurger High School, both part of the Spurger Independent School District (Isd). While the schools have some standout characteristics, they also face challenges in academic performance and student diversity.
Spurger Elementary stands out for its high percentage of white students (87.19%) compared to the state average, but this lack of diversity may be a concern. Both Spurger Elementary and Spurger High School perform below the state average on STAAR tests, particularly in reading, math, and science. Spurger High School also has a lower four-year graduation rate (84.0%) than the state average, though its dropout rate is very low at 0.6%.
In terms of resources, the schools in Spurger have relatively high per-student spending, with Spurger Elementary spending $11,963 per student and Spurger High School spending $13,827 per student. However, this does not seem to be translating into strong academic outcomes, suggesting the district may need to re-evaluate how it allocates resources to better support student learning and success.
