Summary:
The Axtell Independent School District (Isd) in Texas is home to two high schools: Axtell High School and Waco Center For Youth. While both schools serve students in the Axtell ISD, the data reveals a significant disparity in their academic performance and overall quality.
Axtell High School emerges as the standout institution, consistently ranking higher than Waco Center For Youth in the statewide SchoolDigger rankings and boasting a 96.3% four-year graduation rate, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Axtell High School outperforms the Axtell ISD and the state of Texas in several STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) assessments, particularly in English I Reading, English II Reading, and U.S. History.
In contrast, Waco Center For Youth appears to be a lower-performing school within the district, with significantly lower test scores across various STAAR assessments and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school also has a much higher free/reduced lunch rate of 92.31%, suggesting that socioeconomic factors may play a role in its academic performance. While Waco Center For Youth spends more per student than Axtell High School, the data raises questions about the effective allocation of resources and how they are being utilized to support student learning.
