Summary:
The Triumph Public High Schools-Laredo district in Texas operates two high schools, Triumph Public High Schools-Laredo North and Triumph Public High Schools-Laredo South, both of which serve predominantly Hispanic student populations. However, the district faces significant challenges, as both schools perform well below the state average on standardized tests, with proficiency rates ranging from just 10% to 45% compared to the state average of 45% to 71%.
While Triumph Public High Schools-Laredo South has a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 89.5%, Triumph Public High Schools-Laredo North has a much lower rate of 61.5%, suggesting different approaches or challenges in supporting students through graduation. Additionally, the district's per-student spending is similar across both schools, indicating that funding is not a significant factor in the low performance, and pointing to the need to examine other aspects of the educational system, such as curriculum, teaching quality, and student support.
Overall, the Triumph Public High Schools-Laredo district faces significant challenges in improving academic achievement, and should prioritize identifying and addressing the root causes of the underperformance across both schools to better support the success of its predominantly Hispanic student population.
