Summary:
Ballinger Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to a single high school, Ballinger High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has a diverse student population, it outperforms the district in most academic areas but lags behind the state average proficiency rates, particularly in Algebra I.
Ballinger High School boasts a strong 95.9% four-year graduation rate and an impressive 0.0% dropout rate, despite serving a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with 48.87% receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school's spending per student of $13,742 is higher than the state average, and it maintains a favorable 10.5 student-teacher ratio. However, the school's performance in Algebra I, with only 15.69% of students proficient, is a concern and suggests a need for improved math instruction and support.
Overall, Ballinger Independent School District and its sole high school, Ballinger High School, demonstrate strengths in certain academic areas, such as Biology and English, as well as in supporting their economically disadvantaged student population. Yet, there are opportunities for the school to continue improving its academic outcomes, particularly in mathematics, to better align with state-level performance and prepare students for future success.
