Summary:
The city of Sudan, Texas is home to two schools - Sudan Elementary and Sudan High School, both part of the Sudan Independent School District (Isd). While both schools perform well, Sudan High School stands out as a top-performing institution, ranking in the top 14% of Texas high schools and maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three years.
Sudan High School boasts an impressive 96.8% four-year graduation rate, significantly higher than the state average. Its students also outperformed their peers statewide on several STAAR end-of-course exams, including Algebra I, Biology, and English Language Arts. In contrast, while Sudan Elementary also performs well in some areas, its statewide ranking has declined in recent years, placing it in the middle of the pack among Texas elementary schools.
The data also reveals notable differences in student demographics, academic performance, and resource allocation between the two schools. Sudan High School spends significantly more per student and has a lower student-teacher ratio, which may contribute to its stronger academic outcomes. The district should investigate these disparities and identify best practices from the high school that could be implemented at the elementary level to ensure all students in the community receive a high-quality education.
