Summary:
The Bishop Consolidated Independent School District in Texas operates 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district serves a predominantly Hispanic student population, with a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Among the standout schools in the district, Petronila Elementary consistently performs above the district and state averages on STAAR test scores, particularly in reading and math. It has been ranked among the top 25% of Texas elementary schools for the past 3 years and holds a 5-star rating, making it the highest-performing school in the district. Meanwhile, Bishop High School has maintained strong graduation rates and relatively high test scores, ranking in the top 25% of Texas high schools for the past 3 years.
The district's schools vary in their spending per student, ranging from $10,135 to $13,733 per student, with Petronila Elementary having the highest per-student spending. The student-teacher ratios also differ, from 11.1 to 15.0, with Petronila Elementary again having the lowest ratio. These factors may contribute to the academic success observed at Petronila Elementary and Bishop High School, suggesting the district could examine resource allocation to support student achievement across all its schools.
