Summary:
The city of Uvalde, Texas is home to 8 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 4 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The schools in this predominantly Hispanic, economically disadvantaged district are struggling to provide a high-quality education, with test scores and graduation rates well below the state average.
While a few schools stand out, such as Uvalde Dual Language Academy, which has the highest test scores in the district, and Batesville School, which has strong academic performance, the district as a whole is ranked 885 out of 968 districts in Texas. The alternative Crossroads Academy appears to be the lowest-performing school, with very low test scores, graduation rates, and high dropout rates.
Addressing the significant achievement gaps and supporting the lowest-performing schools will be critical for improving outcomes in the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District. The high rates of economic disadvantage among the student population may be contributing to the academic challenges faced by the schools, underscoring the need for targeted interventions and resources to support student success.
