Summary:
The city of Stamford, Texas is home to three public schools serving grades K-12: Oliver Elementary, Stamford High School, and Stamford Middle, all part of the Stamford Independent School District (Isd).
Stamford High School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, ranking 367 out of 1,987 Texas high schools and earning a 4-star rating. The school boasts an impressive 98.1% four-year graduation rate and outperforms the state average on STAAR EOC exams, particularly in Biology, English I/II Reading, and U.S. History. In contrast, Oliver Elementary struggles with STAAR proficiency, especially in Mathematics, and has the highest percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 74.59%.
Stamford Middle also shows promise, with standout performance in 7th-grade Reading and Mathematics, but the school's lower proficiency rates in 6th and 8th grades indicate a need for improvement. The significant variation in student-teacher ratios and spending per student across the schools suggests potential inequities in resource allocation within the Stamford Independent School District, which may contribute to the performance differences between the schools.
