Beckville Independent School District (Isd)

The Beckville Independent School District (Isd) in Texas consists of two schools: Beckville Sunset Elementary and Beckville Junior-Senior High School. While both schools perform well, the data analysis highlights Beckville Junior-Senior High School as the standout performer, with consistently high state-wide rankings, exceptional graduation and dropout rates, and strong test scores across various subjects and grade levels.

Beckville Junior-Senior High School has been ranked in the top 30% of Texas high schools for the past three school years, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts a remarkable 97.7% four-year graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate, significantly outperforming state averages. Additionally, the school's test scores consistently exceed the state and district averages, particularly in reading, science, and end-of-course exams. In contrast, Beckville Sunset Elementary, while still performing well in some areas, does not stand out as strongly as the high school, with its state-wide ranking fluctuating over the past three years and more mixed test score performance.

The data also reveals some interesting findings, such as the inverse relationship between spending per student and academic performance. Beckville Junior-Senior High School, which spends significantly more per student ($12,991) than Beckville Sunset Elementary ($9,007), achieves higher test scores and better overall performance. This suggests that higher spending may not necessarily translate to better academic outcomes, and other factors, such as school leadership, teacher quality, and instructional practices, may play a more significant role in student achievement. Additionally, the schools have a relatively homogeneous racial makeup, but Beckville Sunset Elementary has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from lower-income families, which may contribute to the differences in academic performance between the two schools.
